Planning for the Strategic Plan
Maybe your organization had a strategic plan years ago, and it’s time to pick the process back up. Maybe you have one, but it’s been collecting dust on a shelf. Or maybe you’ve never had one and aren’t sure where to begin. Wherever you’re starting from, the same truth applies: a plan alone doesn’t produce results; active implementation does.
That’s exactly why the prep work matters as much as the plan itself. Before you dive in, it pays to slow down, clarify what success looks like, name the tough questions you need to answer, and surface operational issues early so they don’t derail the process later.
This resource goodie includes five preparation questions from Michael Allison and Kude Kaye’s book Strategic Planning for Nonprofit Organizations, plus a checklist built from our experience guiding nonprofits through the process.
