Strategic Planning
Charting a Clear Path Forward
We partner with you to create a strategic plan that aligns today’s decisions with tomorrow’s goals. Our process includes a collaborative session with organizational stakeholders led by a trained facilitator. Our sessions have been called interactive and fun and more succinct than other strategic planning endeavors!
With decades of experience and a commitment to helping nonprofits thrive through marketing and fundraising, we’re here to guide and offer three levels of strategic planning:
Strategic Planning Refresh
Initial Strategic Plan
Robust Strategic Plan that includes surveying a variety of stakeholders.
Answering the Big Questions
Our strategic planning process addresses key questions to help your organization engage stakeholders and get clarity to develop a clear, focused plan:
-
1. Where Are We Today?
Understand Your Current Position
We start by conducting an in-depth evaluation of your organization’s current operations, strengths, and areas for improvement. We then help inform your stakeholders of your organization's current position.
-
2. Where should we prioritize now to secure our future?
Develop Your Future Vision
We review your mission statement, identify potential roadblocks, consider ideas you’ve never thought of before, and think through best practices to inform a new vision.
-
3. Where do we want to be in the future?
Create the Action Plan You Need for Future Success
After finalizing a new vision, we examine what needs to be done, by when, and who is responsible for moving the organization forward.
