Frequently Asked Questions
How much time will this require from our team?
Very little. Most organizations only need to dedicate 2–3 hours per week for interviews and
clarifying questions. Vervé handles the analysis, synthesis, and documentation, allowing your
team to stay focused on day-to-day priorities.
What if we’re concerned about uncovering problems we can’t fix immediately?
That’s completely normal—and expected. The goal of the audit is clarity, not perfection. You’ll
receive a phased roadmap that prioritizes what matters most, shows what can wait, and provides
doable next steps based on your current capacity and resources.
How do you handle sensitive organizational issues or resistance to change?
With discretion and empathy. As a licensed Master Social Worker and experienced operations
leader, Naisha approaches organizational challenges through a human-centered lens. She builds
trust quickly, gathers honest insights, and provides recommendations that are realistic, respectful,
and aligned with your organization’s values.
Will you provide support after the audit?
Yes. Many organizations choose to continue with Vervé for implementation support, leadership
coaching, systems design, or ongoing operational advisory. Continued partnership is optional and
always tailored to your needs.
