Coca-Cola Consolidated and Nutanix skilled volunteer team support Books with Color through a business processes assessment to aid sustainable program growth
Sponsored by Coca-Cola Consolidated
Books of Color—a Diversity Drive Author’s Alliance, is a community of creatives driven to promote diversity and equality via access to inclusive reading materials in the home and classroom, so children everywhere feel represented in the books they read. They believe children of all colors should grow up with a wide array of books featuring children of all colors. Books with Color raises funds to purchase books from diverse and bilingual authors to undo the solvable racial and social disparity.
Books with Color is headed into their first full year of school programming and has identified areas in which manual processes can no longer support their size and continued growth. Their current process for educators to connect with the organization for live author readings requires multiple steps, many of which are manual.
Through this Community Impact Project sponsored by Coca-Cola Consolidated, Apparo matched Books with Color with a skilled volunteer team who will provide a business process assessment of the organization’s programming and technology. The assessment will support Books with Color by creating a guide that will include opportunities to improve both internal business and technology processes and provide a scalable approach as the program is expanded. The project will also involve support with the initial implementation of desired process automation.
