Evaluation of mission, vision, and current organizational infrastructure

Founded in 2008, Girl Be Heard (GBH) is a theatre company that sets the stage for girls to inspire local and global change. GBH is currently in an exciting period of expansion and opportunity and engaged a Capstone team to evaluate its current mission, vision, and infrastructure in order to successfully scale their activities in the future. The team began its analysis of GBH’s mission and vision with a series of in-depth interviews with staff members and current girl members. The assessment culminated in a retreat with the Board to review findings and determine final mission and vision statements for Girl Be Heard. The Capstone team also developed a case statement and theory of change to match the newly-formed mission and vision. The next phase of the project consisted of a comprehensive assessment of the current organizational infrastructure. Using this information, the team developed key recommendations for organizational composition and job responsibilities that are best suited to sustain and support the organization’s growth.
