Nonprofit Strategic Planning

The session is a practical and usable introduction to the key concepts and techniques of strategic planning and how to apply them to your nonprofit. You will leave with a clear understanding of what nonprofits can gain from strategic planning. The session will feature extensive handouts including planning forms, worksheets, and examples of strategic planning documents. You will walk through some of the processes of strategic planning and learn how to design an effective planning process that fits your organization’s needs, results in a flexible and achievable road map for your nonprofit, and leads to increased mission impact.

Topics include:

• The nature and role of strategic planning and how to apply the concepts and practices to nonprofit organizations
• Making sure that your strategic planning is really “strategic”
• Techniques for plan formulation, implementation, and assessment
• Preparing your organization for planning
• When, where, why, and how your board and staff should be involved
