The PerformCoop Approach: Change Management for Cooperatives

Socodevi helps improve the living conditions of disadvantaged families on four continents by supporting the creation and strengthening of inclusive, autonomous, profitable, and sustainable co-operative enterprises.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in developing and structuring innovative economic activities, we implement the PerformCoop Approach: an iterative change-management process for co-operative and associative enterprises aimed at improving member services, strengthening inclusive governance, and enhancing strategic, financial, and environmental management.

Our Approach

The Socodevi PerformCoop Approach is an iterative change-management process within co-operative and associative enterprises, integrating gender equality, environmental considerations, and climate adaptation.

The Approach brings together a set of management tools and training materials within a structured model for co-operative enterprise management. The process includes four phases:

  1. Organizational diagnosis and performance assessment
  2. Selection of priorities and activity planning
  3. Implementation of changes
  4. Analysis of management dashboards

Our approach emphasizes long-term growth objectives, as well as short-term management of performance indicators. It offers mechanisms for the gradual strengthening of skills among members, leaders, and cooperative staff.

OUR WEB PLATFORM: A ONE-OF-A-KIND MANAGEMENT TOOL!

Easy to deploy and requiring no installation, the PerformCoop web platform developed by Socodevi makes it possible to:

  • Collect data
  • Assess the performance of co-operative and associative enterprises
  • Select intervention priorities through a participatory process
  • Set annual targets
  • Monitor progress through an interactive management dashboard

Web Platform

A Complete Diagnosis for Concrete Solutions

To identify the co-operative enterprise’s needs and begin meaningful change, the PerformCoop Approach enables:

  • Collection of quantitative and qualitative data
  • Review of existing management tools
  • A full performance evaluation

This generates a diagnostic report, which is shared with the supported co-operative for joint interpretation.
Annual priorities are chosen collaboratively among three dimensions and 14 change areas of the PerformCoop Approach, and then an annual support plan is developed.
