Whatever services you provide, be it day excursions, camps, allied health or in-home support (or others), we know you want to help as many people as possible. How do we know? Because we have the same mission – to support more people in need.
To assist more people, autism support service providers need to become more efficient financially and in their operations.
The challenge facing you as a Not-for-Profit or NDIS Provider is identifying your gaps and opportunities and developing a plan to maximise the efficiencies, while still delivering your services.
It may seem a daunting undertaking, however, it doesn’t have to be.
When you know exactly how to assess your autism support service organisation, you’ll obtain the feedback and data you need to develop a sustainable plan for growth.
Once you have this data available, the process becomes even more rewarding.
How to Review Your Autism Support Service Organisation
You’ll need to review all your critical finance and operational areas. This means, you’ll need to assess your key drivers, your systems, your team, your culture, your productivity, your capacity, your cash flow, your risk, and your opportunities.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll be able to assess your key drivers and unit costs to determine your budgeting requirements and cash flow forecasts.
The next step is to undertake business scenario modelling, which will help you determine the best decisions to make today, to achieve the goals you would like to achieve in the future.
You may decide to make changes to your back-office operations, implement new software to support your projected growth, adjust employee KPI’s, and even redefine roles of management.
Other things to consider are how to reduce waitlist times, identify new revenue opportunities and how you can monitor your future operations for quality and continuous improvement.
If this seems overwhelming, you may consider engaging a Not-for-Profit & NDIS Provider business transformation expert to assist with the process.
Making autism support service organisations stronger financially, achieving critical outcomes, and building longer-lasting, more sustainable businesses is what we do – every single day.
Employing our proprietary CINCH Transformation Program, we have achieved an average 7.4% uplift for the Not-for-Profit organisations and NDIS Providers we have partnered with.
