the perfect business resource.
Very few people like the blinking cursor on a blank screen or the blinding white glare of a blank page…there’s just something that can be intimidating about “nothing.” Whether you know what you want to do and just can’t find the words, or just simply need a jump-start – there’s a solution!
The SNF Writing Solutions approach can help you to problem solve, review/develop process, plan, write, do, and review “it”…whatever your “it” may be.
“There’s a solution to every problem.” A motto carried through the years has motivated Stacy Fitzsimmons to always think through problems with an open mind and considering even the most unlikely answers. This methodology has transcended SNF Writing Solutions’ operations and approach to every project.
From documenting existing processes to a full Six-Sigma project, SNF Writing Solutions owner, Stacy Fitzsimmons, goes full-on geek mode when offered a process project. She has a great knack for finding wasted time and steps while getting to the “real” way things are done.
Utilizing the Compression Planning® technique, the SNF Writing Solutions approach brings any concept to an actionable plan in less than a day.
Bringing complex information to a general audience is a specialty.
Don’t let the plan just sit on the shelf – get to work!
How well did you do? From constituent interviews to data collection and analysis, SNF Writing Solutions can develop an outcomes and process evaluation to suit your stakeholder (funder, board, auditor) needs.
Outcomes evaluation is the common review request: did we do what we set out to do. This is an important look at any businesses progress toward meeting strategic goals, benchmarks, budgetary/cost plans, and stakeholder expectations.
Take your team to the next level with orientation, professional development, or skill building – our topic or yours.

My “light” evening reading is a hint.
Think strategic plans have to be complicated, time-intensive, and formal documents worthy of a Pulitzer? Who has time for that? Come learn how to put together a “good enough” strategic plan that you could even get done while preparing that…
No need to wait until January to think about next year – first in a series illustrating the methods to reevaluate plans and create direction simply.
It’s that time of year again…holidays, snow, school breaks and of course, the highly anticipated 2019 release of the competitive grant and state program calendar for the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA). Let’s get funding! Quick…
As I finish another grant review panel (this one Federal), I found that I had to check my “crankiness” meter – where I was on the scale when I reviewed the app – during our discussion in the team-consensus calls. Upon reflection, I decided that the applicants would do certain things that immediately changed my perception of the rest of the application. While I could temper this, somewhat, in the consensus scoring – there were many things that irritated me so much that I couldn’t (wouldn’t) let it go. And others on my review panel had their irritants too!
New software programs and apps can make life wonderful for organizations. In addition to just rolling out the new system with the software company, there are other items to keep in mind.
