Mandates for organisations with a public mission
Wirkung
& Strategie
I bring open ventures into a form your organisation can decide on and work with.
I am Lukas Bärlocher: public management, project leadership, communication and impact. I work for NPOs, foundations, public bodies, education, culture and social projects.
A request does not need a finished brief. An open problem is enough.
What I take on
Concrete tasks, one profile
Prepare decisions
I turn open questions into a short paper, recommendation or presentation that a board, management team or project group can use.
Set up projects
I build roles, timing, budget logic, communication and a first implementation rhythm around an idea.
Lead temporary mandates
I take responsibility for coordination, meetings, reporting, communication and handover for a defined period.
Make impact understandable
I turn data, interviews, examples and learning into a report that supports funding, continuation or repositioning.

How it works
The first 30 days
This is how every mandate starts, whatever the format: understand first, then sort, then deliver.
-
Day 1 to 5
Read the situation
Review documents, clarify the brief, collect open questions and name the people involved.
-
Day 6 to 12
Hold conversations
Short interviews or working sessions with leadership, staff, board or stakeholders.
-
Day 13 to 20
Sort the options
Condense goals, risks, roles, resources and possible paths. With variants where needed.
-
Day 21 to 27
Write the basis
Draft the decision paper, project architecture, communication line or impact logic.
-
Day 28 to 30
Prepare the decision
Discuss, sharpen and hand over the result so a board or team can continue.
Request
An open problem is enough.
Call, email or mandate check: what you get is an honest first assessment of whether your venture fits my profile.
Mandate check
Five questions, one recommendation: which of the five mandate formats fits your situation? At the end your answers carry over into the contact form.
