      Rehaul the Core

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - new CEO is asking the right questions - healthy culture - interesting work

      Cons

      - coo/cpo is seen as bully, not effective -- product is stagnant and not responding to either our current lenders or potential lenders - teams are strong individually but do not work together, this is a top-level problem - retention is high but people are becoming less motivated

      Thanks for your review. Since you shared this a number of months ago, I am hoping that we are continuing to work hard on the issues you identified. If you’d like to grab coffee, give me a shout. Pam@kiva.org

      Portfolio Management

      Portfolio manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Work with smart, creative and humble group of people - More or less flat structure with minimum hierarchy (CEO & President welcome new ideas and discussions -- unheard of in other NGOs) - Provide safe space for voicing opinions/ideas, transparent culture - Teams are passionate about human development, environment, and the betterment of global communities.

      Cons

      - Diminishing revenue streams is a problem, however, senior management is too comfortable with status quo and has very low risk appetite - Very little innovation is encouraged/sponsored, although staff boasts of excellent talent/ideas - Do not seek to understand market realities and adapt organization goals/strategies accordingly
