Strategic Planning
Your Road Map Awaits
A good strategic plan is a road map that helps us assess if we are impacting our mission in a way that moves the needle toward our vision statement. Some are longer range than others, depending upon the needs of the organization. Strategic plans should be designed in a way that ensures staff and board leaders know the next steps and feel equipped in how to move forward.
I love taking organizations through this process, particularly when they feel they are at a crossroads. The steps vary slightly with each organization, moving beyond a cookie cutter approach to a method that is responsive to the current entity's need. A few key steps in the process are defined below. I'd love to hear more about your current needs and recommend a process from there. For all projects, I am able to bring on a team of other experts as needed for each project.
The Process

- Internal listening & mission affirmation
- External listening and data gathering
- Data analysis and building congruence
