Nutrition Operations Assessment
The Nutrition Operations Assessment provides actionable recommendations for improvement. Leveraging a structured and proven methodology, the assessment addresses the specific challenges that your program faces. One of our knowledgeable consultants meets with your leadership and staff to evaluate your nutrition services operations and applies their own experience within the context of your unique opportunities.
Do Now
High impact, minimal effort. These tasks can often be completed by your team, with limited support. Think of it as having all the tools in place, you just need a hand prioritizing, planning, or making a conscious effort to focus on them. This stage is often also where we determine pieces to be implemented in Do Soon.
Do Soon
High impact, medium effort. These action items build momentum, accelerating improvement, and increasing efficiency. They’re often project-based and may require an investment. Do Soon typically impacts the current or upcoming year, but the timeline is ultimately up for your team to decide.
Do Later
High impact, high effort. We make sure you’re set up for sustainable, long-term success. Think of these items as your ideal state, with Do Now and Do Soon helping lay its groundwork. Do Later can also include an analysis of results, longer-term planning, and higher levels of organizational change that may require partnership support.
The five components of the assessment build upon one another, providing the clarity needed to move forward confidently:
Understand nutrition program goals
Observe nutrition services operations
Identify underlying challenges and concerns
Analyze data and develop solutions
Present recommendations
