Services

Practical operation and performance consulting, backed by deep experience delivering publicly funded programs.

Qualis offers two families of services. Operations & Performance Consulting helps any organization improve how its word gets done. Program & Funding Delivery applies that same discipline to grants, disaster recovery and complex public programs. Most new engagements begin with a short, fixed-price Operational Performance Assessment.

Operations & Performance Consulting

Every organization has work that takes longer, costs more, or breaks more often than it should. We help you find the cause and fix it, using two capabilities in whatever mix the problem needs.

Map how the word really happens, remove bottlenecks and handoff gaps, and set clear roles, procedures and measures. 

Business Process Improvement

Digital Transformation

Choose, configure and launch the tools, data and reporting that support the improved process.

Who we work with

  • Nonprofits

    You run lean, your funders expect detailed reporting, and your systems have not kept up with your growth. We simplify the processes behind reimbursements, reporting, intake and tracking.

  • State capitol building representing partnerships with state agencies on funding, compliance, and community programs.

    Foundations

    Focused assessments and implementation support that strengthen grantee operations or streamline your own grant making and reporting.

  • Federal office building symbolizing partnerships with federal programs and contractors on compliance and strategic program delivery.

    Small businesses

    When everything runs through the owner, growth creates delays and mistakes. We take one problem at a time and put simple durable processes and tools in place.

  • Hands stacked together, representing teamwork, partnership, and empowering nonprofits and community organizations.

    Public sector

    Local governments and technical assistance programs that must move quickly while meeting federal and state requirements.

Teaming partners: we also support prime contractors and consulting firms as a subcontractor on grant management, disaster recovery, and program delivery work.
