Nonprofit organizations enthusiastically take on some of society’s greatest challenges – and risks.
Mobius One helps manage and reduce those risks.
Our simple yet powerful, cloud-based applications enable NPOs to readily capture, assess, manage and monitor key risks spanning strategic, financial, operational and regulatory domains. The result? Better outcomes, happy funders, well-informed Board members and an enhanced ability to attract and retain both volunteers and donors by demonstrating robust governance, stewardship and accountability.

Challenging, to say the least
The mission statements and objectives of many non-profits would make a traditional business manager cringe, especially when they realize that they’d need to achieve those objectives with uncertain resources, well-meaning but potentially inexperienced volunteers, funders that will be expecting hard data on impacts achieved, etc.
Within this context – identifying, assessing, managing and monitoring key risks becomes a critical competency, especially when engaged with funders, but also with staff and volunteers. In addition, visible risk management provides comfort to donors and funders that the governance of the organization is committed to asset stewardship and accountability.

With tools unfit for job
NPOs that decide to become proactive in risk management soon realize that available tools are lacking in effectiveness and efficiency. For example, Microsoft Excel is ubiquitous and, therefore, often the default technology for capturing, analyzing and reporting risk data.
However, its inherent shortcomings soon come to light, including: version control issues, re-key errors, report aggregation challenges and the invariable cat-herding of particpants expected to provide feedback. Soon, it becomes a frantic data collection exercise producing lists of risks, leaving little time to actually analyze the results or to drive appropriate, responsive action. With Mobius One, that dynamic is inverted and value time, recaptured.
