SUMMARY:How to right-size your efforts for what’s needed right now
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nPerhaps you’ve been “told” you need to create or update a strategic plan\, or perhaps you believe it would help your teams stay focused on achieving your mission. Whatever the reason you’re embarking on this effort\, know that not all strategic plans are created equal. Strategic Planning processes can take anywhere from 3-12 months to complete. There are micro-plans\, theories of change\, cases for giving\, needs analyses\, and more that could all be considered part of an overall plan. Yet\, there could also be a subset of planning processes that will help you meet the moment. \nIn this 90-minute workshop\, Robin Yates\, our nonprofit strategist and certified leadership coach\, will bring you up to speed on some of the key ingredients for successful planning. Starting with understanding your intended use for a strategic plan\, Robin will help you develop the right planning process for where you are and what you are looking to achieve. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nThree phases of traditional strategic planning\nExercises to complete with your teams before\, during\, and after this planning process\nHow to scan the internal and external environments for informed planning\nKnowing when to “do it yourself” and when to engage others\nDrafting your plan-to-plan\n\nLearn more about our certificate programs! \nFacilitator:\n \nRobin Yates is the Founder and CEO of Yates Advisory\, a nonprofit consulting and coaching firm specializing in the areas of strategic planning\, developing partnerships\, program design and implementation\, plus team and executive coaching.
