Bright Path Microfinance
Nonprofit, financial inclusion
Context
A strong sense of mission had not translated into clarity about individual roles.
Signal
Staff were deeply committed to the organization's purpose but frequently unsure which tasks were theirs to own, leading to both duplication and quiet gaps.
Diagnosis
Belonging and culture scored among the strongest of any organization assessed, while role clarity within performance scored notably low.
Intervention
A role clarity exercise across every function, paired with a lightweight decision-rights map for shared programs.
Shift
Role clarity improved substantially, and staff reported fewer instances of duplicated or dropped work across programs.
Lesson
Mission-driven commitment is not the same as structural clarity. Organizations can have one without the other.
