2012 Teleseminars

Thursday, February 9, 2012, Noon (EASTERN): "Nonprofit Strategic Planning" with Katha Kissman, Interim Leadership and Nonprofit Organizational Development Consultant


“Everyone says we need a strategic plan!”  Yes, we agree!  A dedicated strategic planning process allows the key players (board, staff, stakeholders) to participate in higher level strategic thinking -- a chance to weigh in and develop a consensus roadmap for an organization.  This creates focus and can guide an effective allocation of resources to work toward the achievement of specific agreed upon goals. 

A strategic plan usually involves the review of mission, vision, and values as well as a review of an organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.  With this information guiding the discussion and decision-making process, the board and staff together determine the specific goals for the next three to five years.  In order for a strategic plan to be a living guide, the goals must provide an overall compass for the operational direction of the organization.   Strategic planning is generally not an activity delegated to the staff or to a board committee or task force exclusively; rather, it requires the thoughtful participation of all involved with the governance for and implementation of mission.

This teleseminar will focus on:

1.       Preparing for the strategic planning process

2.       Developing your environmental scan (SWOT Analysis)

3.       What does the strategic planning retreat look like
