Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning creates a focused opportunity for board members and staff to think intentionally about the organization’s future direction and collectively consider:

• • What is the most potent vision we can foresee?
  • What is changing in the world that impacts our mission?
  • What scale do we need to be functioning at to achieve this vision?
  • What can we stop doing?
  • What capacities and or infrastructure do we need to develop?
  • What partners should we approach for collaboration or affiliation?

Through a progression of well-informed discussions, board and staff coalesce around a compelling organizational vision and then develop strategies and benchmarks to move toward that vision. This process engages all parts of the organization while developing strategic thinking muscles. The result is a well-crafted sustainability plan that guides future decision-making and helps navigate the continual dance between planning and being responsive.
