SOI 2
A key part of the work included an assessment of all the different types and categories of constituents that are part of the Special Olympics movement and resulted in a Constituent Map that provided a comprehensive view and common definition of the organization’s many different constituent groups.

The project also included an assessment and specific recommendations for improvement in the areas of: CRM vision, strategy, the constituent/donor experience, organizational collaboration (culture, skills, incentives, communication), processes, data and analytics, technology, and performance metrics.
