FAQ
Is this for nonprofits specifically?
No. Vivia Studios works with consulting firms, professional associations, and nonprofits in growth mode. The organizing filter is not your sector. It is your stage. If your ambition has outpaced your infrastructure, the work is the same regardless of what industry you operate in.
I need help but I cannot justify a full-time operations hire. Is that who you work with?
That is exactly who we work with. Most of the founders and executive directors we partner with need senior operational thinking without the overhead of a permanent hire. The Studio Signature engagement is designed for that. You get an embedded operations partner at a fraction of the cost and commitment of a full-time role.
What is a Studio output?
Every Vivia engagement produces a named, crafted deliverable built to the Vivia Standard™. Not a pile of documentation or a generic template. A designed artifact your organization can actually use, that holds up after we are no longer in the room.
Studio outputs are what separate a consulting engagement from a consulting relationship.
Where do I start if I am not sure what I need?
The Studio Intensive is always the right first move. It is a focused diagnostic that clarifies what is working, what is costing you, and where the highest-leverage changes are. You walk away with a prioritized Studio output and a clear path forward, whether you work with us next or not. If you are not ready for that, the Studio Stack gives you the tools to start thinking through it on your own.
How long does an engagement typically last?
It depends on the offering. The Studio Hour is a single session. The Studio Lab is four weeks. The Studio Intensive and Studio Sprint are scoped by project. The Studio Signature is a monthly retainer, typically entered after a diagnostic, and structured around what the organization actually needs. We do not do open-ended retainers without a clear scope. Every engagement has a defined output.
Do you work with organizations outside the United States?
The work is remote-first. If your organization is growing faster than its infrastructure can support, geography is not the constraint.
