For some, strategic planning feels like a chore that has to be completed. But truly effective leaders know that having a solid strategic plan is the key to motivating your board, staff, volunteers, and supporters to embrace the organization’s direction and work together to move your mission forward. This class will help you understand how to make strategic planning an ongoing, integrated function of a nonprofit, ensuring that your top priorities are driving your daily decisions and operations.

This class provides a comprehensive overview of strategic planning techniques, focusing on how to adapt “traditional” strategic planning for today’s uncertain environment using tools like adaptive planning, scenario planning, and strategic frameworks. We’ll explore different methods of gaining clarity on your organization’s purpose, people served, programs, and priorities. Tools for gathering stakeholder data, creating a shared vision, and framing strategic goals, objectives and action plans will be shared. This class will show you how to bring strategic thinking to your organization every day, not just when you’re “strategic planning,” helping your plan to stand up to unexpected changes both inside and outside your organization.
