In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses the launch of Novya, a consultancy based in Brussels that is dedicated to supporting European purpose-driven organizations. Novya has relaunched as an independent entity after spinning off from DGA Group's European Association Management Practice. This strategic move is aimed at addressing the unique challenges faced by nonprofits across Europe, such as demonstrating impact while navigating complex regulatory environments and stakeholder expectations. Benita Lipps, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Novya, emphasizes that their independence allows them to align their business model with their mission of helping purpose-driven organizations thrive by offering fresh thinking, practical solutions, and genuine partnerships.
At the core of Novya's relaunch is the European Nonprofit Excellence Framework, an evidence-based model developed from over a decade of sector data. This framework provides benchmarks for nonprofit strategy, management, and operations, enabling organizations to assess their performance against proven success factors. Novya's service portfolio focuses on strategic innovation, smart impact, and building capacity, addressing key areas where European nonprofits often struggle. As the only Brussels-based consultancy exclusively serving nonprofits, Novya combines deep sector expertise with a business model that prioritizes impact over profit.
