Octo Insights Book a consultation

Your nonprofit already knows something people pay for.

Octo Insights helps nonprofits turn that expertise into consulting revenue they control, instead of waiting on the next grant cycle. We also work with employers on workplace assessment, risk, policy and training.

Who we work with

Two kinds of organization, one discipline.

For nonprofits

Nonprofits carry expertise that others pay for. We build the plan that turns it into a consulting practice, so the organization can generate unrestricted funds without waiting on the next grant cycle.

  • Revenue strategy
  • Building an internal consulting practice
  • Pricing and packaging expertise
  • Generating unrestricted funds
Services for nonprofits

For companies

Workplaces where harm is possible need more than a policy document. We assess what is actually happening, identify where risk concentrates, and build the training and governance that make prevention hold.

  • Workplace assessments
  • Risk assessments
  • Policy review
  • Training and education
  • Tailored consulting

The Octo Framework

Eight parts, one system.

Prevention fails when it is treated as a single project. The Octo Framework is how we keep the eight parts that actually matter connected to each other.

01

Assessment

What is actually happening, established from evidence rather than assumption.

02

Risk

Where harm is most likely, and where it would be most costly.

03

Policy

Written rules that hold up under scrutiny, and that people can actually follow.

04

Training

Capability built in the people who have to act, not awareness delivered once.

05

Response

What happens in the first hours after a report, decided before it is needed.

06

Governance

Accountability that survives staff turnover and leadership change.

07

Measurement

Knowing whether any of it is working, on terms set in advance.

08

Sustainability

Funding and staffing the work so that it continues past the engagement.

How we work

Consulting is the practice, not a side offering.

Plenty of organizations offer this work as an addendum to something else, and it shows in how the engagement is run. Here it is the whole practice. That means direct access to the person doing the work, scope shaped around what the organization actually needs, and pricing that reflects a small practice rather than a large institution.

Engagements start with a conversation, not a proposal. If we are not the right fit, that is a faster and more useful answer than a scoping document.
