Dedicated Project Services

Training, Coaching, and Mentoring

Build practical skills your team can use right away.

Many teams are asked to manage projects, lead change, or evaluate programs without formal training. The result is often good intentions paired with uncertainty, rework, and fatigue.

ProGradient provides hands-on learning in:

  • Project management fundamentals that actually fit nonprofit and public sector realities

  • Change leadership for teams navigating uncertainty, resistance, or shifting priorities

  • Quality improvement approaches that focus on incremental, meaningful gains

  • Program evaluation skills that support learning and decision-making, not just reporting

Training can be delivered virtuall or in-person as workshops or short courses. Coaching and mentoring supports individuals who are stepping into new leadership or project roles and need a steady, experienced sounding board.

This service is a good fit if:

  • Your staff are managing projects off the side of their desk

  • You want shared language and tools across the team

  • Learning needs to translate into action, not binders

Facilitation and Workshop Design

Create the space teams need to think clearly and work together.

When organizations are busy, alignment is often assumed rather than tested. Projects stall when goals are unclear, voices go unheard, or decisions never quite land.

ProGradient designs and facilitates structured conversations that help teams:

  • Clarify priorities and direction

  • Validate project goals, scope, and success measures

  • Surface risks, constraints, and assumptions early

  • Strengthen trust and working relationships

Facilitation is neutral, focused, and grounded in real outcomes. Workshops are designed with intention, whether the goal is planning, reflection, decision-making, or rebuilding momentum.

This service is a good fit if:

  • You need buy-in before moving forward

  • Past meetings have produced more talk than traction

  • A shared path forward matters more than quick consensus

Project and Executive Leadership Support

Extra leadership capacity when delivery cannot wait.

Some moments call for more than advice or facilitation. When projects are complex, timelines are tight, or leadership capacity is stretched, ProGradient can step in with dedicated support.

This includes:

  • Fractional project leadership for active initiatives

  • Support for project governance, systems, and controls

  • Day-to-day operational or executive support during transitions or peak demand

This work focuses on bringing order without overcomplicating things. Clear roles, workable processes, and steady follow-through allow teams to focus on their mission while projects move forward responsibly.

This service is a good fit if:

  • A project is underway and needs stronger coordination

  • Leadership bandwidth is stretched thin

  • You want experienced oversight without adding a permanent role

working together

Each engagements is shaped around your context, capacity, and constraints. Support may be short-term or ongoing. In all cases, the goal is the same.

Clear priorities.
Aligned people.
Progress with intention.

If you are unsure which service fits best, that is a great place to begin a conversation.
