Significant Work for Not-for-Profits

Osborne Interim Management has extensive experience with not-for-profits and social ventures. The world is in a state of flux and trusted advisors are key to survival and success. Osborne delivers solutions on a flexible contract basis when organizations, possibly like yours, experience upheavals, face challenges, or work through transitions.

Osborne is also a trusted advisor for those embracing growth strategies, or just wanting to avoid the burdens of having full-time employees. We can also work on team assignments. A collection of Osborne experts work together to provide either a full suite of services or address your issue to deliver on multiple needs. Osborne’s rates are highly competitive, but it is the value of the work we provide that will get you most excited.

Osborne can fill the gaps you have, provide the skills you’ve suddenly found are lacking, or simply bring specialized expertise to your team – to address a new situation, a matter of survival, or a sudden opportunity. Our team are the people you need in these chaotic and often troubled times. They will help you understand your options. They feel accountable for the work they provide and produce tangible results.  Once your issue is solved, they will quietly disappear leaving you stronger and better positioned to advance your agenda. Individual or team assignments can be project based, set up as short-term counsel or can last for as long as your organization requires.

Have Questions?

Please contact us if you have any questions about how our team can help.

  • Osborne Interim Management was able to provide us with interim leadership during a period of significant transition and organizational rejuvenation. In addition to the Principal who acted as Interim Executive Director, they provided resources as required to facilitate a strategic planning session and update our Personnel Policy manual. The Interim then led the recruitment process that helped us find and onboard our new CEO. I would highly recommend the services of Osborne Interim Management.
    Victor Benz – President, Alberta Fish and Game Association
  • “Osborne Interim Management supported our recruitment efforts for a new CEO from start to finish. They helped us develop the right profile for the individual we needed and then oversaw a process that resulted in a significant number of very qualified applicants. Their engagement in the screening and interview process led us to hiring a terrific new CEO, bringing much needed relief to the Board and invaluable momentum to our Society. I’d highly recommend their services to any other charitable or not-for-profit organization.”
    Julie Hamilton – Board Chair, Palliative Care Society of Bow Valley
  • “Osborne Interim Management provided invaluable assistance to us as we merged three different operating entities into the new 4-H Alberta. Mark Olson as Interim CEO of the 4-H Foundation and Judy Williams as communications strategist played a significant role in our transformation and I would highly recommend their/Osborne’s services.”
    Kim McConnell – Former Interim CEO, 4-H Alberta
  • “As a young charity, early guidance from the Osborne Interim Management team provided timely direction as we developed the YouQuest service in support of younger families living with dementia.

    Myrla Burlman – Co-founder, YouQuest

  • “Mark Olson has completed his work as Interim CEO for Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation. This is his third assignment as an interim CEO for a not-for-profit organization that I am involved with as a Director, so I am familiar with his work. The fact that I have engaged him twice more after the first speaks volumes. You can count on a good result.”
    Andy Crooks – Chairman of the Board, Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation

He was able to hit the ground running, reassuring staff and implementing business processes that greatly assisted our operation. He reached out to stakeholders within the greater Habitat community and communicated recommendations to the Board. Osborne also assigned another executive with experience in recruitment to assist us in attracting and triaging talent for the full time CEO position. The end result was the hiring of a dynamic new leader transitioned in with Osborne’s support. I would highly recommend Osborne Interim Management to any organization finding itself in a similar situation.”

    Andy Crooks – Chairman of the Board, Canadian Constitution Foundation
