Strategic Talent Planning for Sustainable Impact

Organizations with intentional, forward-looking talent planning practices are better equipped to navigate leadership transitions, retain strong performers, and build the capacity needed for long-term success. Proactive talent planning is essential for organizations working to sustain and grow their mission over time.

Design and align your approach to succession, organizational structure, and leadership development so your organization is prepared for what’s next—ensuring you have the right people, in the right roles, with clear pathways for growth and leadership continuity.

Succession Planning

Leadership transitions are some of the most disruptive and most predictable moments in an organization’s life; when you plan for them, they become opportunities for renewal instead of crises. Edgility Talent Partners’ Succession Planning service helps nonprofits, schools, and social impact organizations move from informal, personality-dependent succession to a proactive, structured leadership plan that protects your mission, your people, and your momentum. Drawing on our combined expertise in executive search, compensation, and succession design, we use a phased, equity-centered process to identify critical roles, assess bench strength, and build diverse internal and external pipelines so you can navigate both planned and unexpected transitions with clarity and confidence.

Executive Succession Planning

Edgility Talent Partners’ Executive Succession Planning service helps boards and executive teams move from reactive to proactive by building a board-owned succession plan for CEO, Executive Director, and Head of School roles that protects your mission, staff, and momentum through both planned and unexpected changes. Drawing on our combined expertise in executive search, leadership development, and executive compensation, we identify mission-critical roles, assess bench strength, and design diverse internal and external pipelines so you understand not only who could lead next, but what kind of leadership you need for the next chapter—and what it will take to attract or develop that person.

Organizational Design

Structure isn't just an org chart—it’s a talent strategy. Edgility Talent Partners’ Organizational Design service helps nonprofits, schools, and social impact organizations align their structures, roles, and reporting lines with mission, strategy, and financial reality so staff can do great work and want to stay. Through a phased, equity-centered process, we analyze how work actually happens today, surface bottlenecks and inequities, and co-create scenarios that integrate org design with compensation, spans and layers, and decision-making—so your structure supports your people, programs, and long-term sustainability.

Leadership Development

Edgility Talent Partners’ Leadership Development Planning service helps nonprofits, schools, and social impact organizations define what effective, equity-centered leadership looks like in their context and build clear, future-focused growth plans for the people in those roles. Through a phased process that blends internal discovery, 360 feedback, and individualized development planning, we surface strengths and growth areas, connect leadership competencies to career pathways and succession plans, and ensure your leaders have tangible, realistic next steps—not vague expectations—so they can grow in ways that support your people and your mission.

Omar Carrera

CEO

Allison and Carrie were exceptional thought partners throughout the process. They brought a wealth of wisdom and experience to the table, yet remained flexible in adapting their approach to align with our specific organizational reality and culture.

Danielle Pointdujour

Human Resources Officer, Urgent Action Fund

Our work often requires rapid responses due to the nature of helping activists who are at risk. We’re grateful to Edgility for helping us slow down and take a step back to assess the health of our organization from a salary, equity, and performance perspective. It’s important that we reward our employees for their brave work. We look forward to continuing to partner with Edgility to develop and improve our internal systems.

Willa Marth

Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Planned Parenthood of Southern New England

While Planned Parenthood of Southern New England (PPSNE) has worked to increase racial equity internally and externally, the racial reckoning of 2020 illuminated the need to ask ourselves what more we can do. With Edgility's methodology, we had clear data points and recommendations to create a plan internally to address any wage gaps and further our commitment to racial equity.

Sonia Dominguez

Chief Operating Officer, AVANCE

Marissa was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the engagement. She demonstrated exceptional expertise, is a great presenter who communicated complex ideas clearly, and maintained a direct and responsive approach that made collaboration seamless. Their professionalism and ability to address our needs promptly contributed significantly to the success of the project.

Erica Kashiri

Chief Operating Officer, Third Plateau

Marissa was easily one of the top 3 partners I have ever worked with my entire career. She knows her stuff, is thoughtful, holds the line when the line needs to be held, and kept us on a great timeline. She is able to break down complex information that was WELL received to a very skeptical team of using benchmarking data. Plus, she just came off as a generally good human which I deeply value these days.

Deena Mangrum

Director of Talent Strategy, Para Los Niños

Treating people equitably is core to who we are and why we exist. The tremendous insights we gained from our work with Edgility have strengthened our organization so we can continue to move the needle for even more marginalized children in the Los Angeles area.

Catrina Bryant

Deputy Director, Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation

The assigned Team was knowledgeable and thorough in the preparation of our materials and flexible in meeting the needs of our small org.

J.J. Lewis

Superintendent & CEO, Compass Charter Schools

We’re so pleased with the work Edgility has done for Compass Charter Schools. It gave us a system and a roadmap that has brought incredible foundational value to our organization. We’ve dramatically reduced inefficiencies and can now confidently offer our teachers and staff equitable pay.

Illy Askia

President & CEO, East Lake Foundation

The Edgility Talent Partners team was very personable, professional, and direct. They listened to our needs and made adjustments when the direction of the project needed to change slightly. Our team truly enjoyed working with them. I would highly recommend them.
