What you can do now: Strategic Planning Broken Down into Manageable Actions

June 9, 2020 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am EDT

$35

WEBINAR

Description:

Navigating through this crisis requires nonprofits to “Act Now to Protect” but also “Plan Now to Adapt”. If you don’t have the bandwidth (or mental energy) to commit to a full Strategic Planning Process, you can select elements to dive into that advance this critical work, as time permits. Engaging with your various stakeholders in this trying time can help create a beacon of hope for the future of the organization and all it serves. In this session we will take you through 10+ activities to choose from, all of which help to establish the platform needed for effective strategic planning.

The Strategic Planning Process involves three primary phases: Discovery, Planning, and, Implementation. The former can take up to 60% of the total time required, but you don’t need to wait until you’ve officially “launched” a Strategic Planning work effort to get started. In this session we will provide you with some key actions you can take to get ahead of the game and also to keep your stakeholders engaged.

  • Generating Buy-in
