A non-profit with siloed spreadsheets and duplicate tracking got a single structure that mirrors how they actually operate, combining design thinking with the technical build.
A regional non-profit had grown into a tangle of spreadsheets: siloed tracking, duplicate data entry, and no way to see a cross-section of the organization’s work. Every report was a manual assembly job.
The hard part wasn’t the technology; it was the design. We spent the Blueprint phase mapping how the organization really operates, then built a structure that mirrors it: shared definitions, one place per kind of work, and views that match how each team thinks.
The combination of design thinking and technical support is where the value showed up. Duplicate tracking went away, leadership got a real cross-section for the first time, and the team trusts the system enough to run on it.
