Build the map you need to navigate new territory.
You know you need a plan. Or, maybe you have one — but your context has changed, and you need a new way forward.
Strategic planning is a way for the people in an organization to reach agreement about
how to spend their resources – including time, energy, and money.
Especially when something changes that affects your work– whether it’s the loss of a longtime funding source or
a new $1M grant that fuels growth – the plan helps you decide what you’ll do, what you won’t, and
affirms the values and other landmarks that guide the way.
"We truly couldn’t have done it without you. Your guidance, levity, and deep understanding of where we were headed were absolutely key to getting this strategic plan done and approved. This plan gives us a strong foundation to move forward with momentum, and that is in large part thanks to you."
