Non-Profit & Education

Faced with volatile fundraising environments, tight budgets and frequent resource constraints, non-profit organizations are often forced to be laggards in the use of innovation or technology to reach institutional objectives. In fact, many non-profits have distanced themselves from “commercial” concepts such as modularity (in products or platforms), identifying and codifying intellectual property, or even embracing the concept of “product development and management.”



At MIDIOR, we believe that non-profits can have greater impact as measured by their social mission by adopting a disciplined approach to developing new products and applying technology. This is certainly a sector where the products and services have “fuzzy edges” and MIDIOR has been able to apply the same frameworks and methodologies we have developed for the private sector to help human services agencies, educators and other philanthropic groups improve their success and effectiveness, reduce cost and better leverage of their human capital. We help our clients define clear objectives, measurable results and apply technology in tactical initiatives to support their missions or to “productize” their services so they can achieve greater programming leverage with donor dollars. In addition to assessing and implementing technological solutions, MIDIOR helps human services and educational institutions take stock of their intellectual assets and identify and articulate their internal and external missions. This process leads to a new focus on results and positive outcomes. Applying a product management perspective to non-profit groups raises awareness about the value of the work a board and volunteer team delivers, and frequently seeds new ideas and approaches. We find engagements with our human services and education clients to be particularly satisfying in terms of their impact and subsequent benefits to the populations being served and we encourage all of our consulting staff to have at least one non-profit on their client or volunteer roster.



If you are seeking a partner to help you improve your efficiency, increase the impact of your products or services, or provide highly skilled outside resources for technology initiatives, MIDIOR is the perfect choice.
