Redesign Your Plan
In today’s volatility, setting strategy may seem pointless. But it’s essential. I work primarily with social benefit, mission-driven organizations, where strategy must balance purpose, governance, funding realities, and client expectations. I have facilitated planning processes for organizations ranging from small community-based charities to government agencies, universities and national networks, and I’ve seen firsthand why renewing strategy matters.
Here’s what a revitalized strategic plan can help you do:
- Make a bigger difference by transforming abstract aspirations into concrete goals.
- Stay relevant and responsive, recognizing that what worked yesterday is not likely to work tomorrow.
- Build cohesion by renewing your team’s connection with your purpose and goals.
- Align decisions with shared objectives, reducing uncertainty and supporting better decision-making.
- Explore new opportunities and ways of working to foster innovative, resourceful problem solving.
- Ensure your resources are aligned with your most important priorities.
- Be clear and intentional about the direction you’re going, so partners and funders have confidence in supporting your work.
- Track your progress toward outcomes that matter most.
If you’re ready to build your strategy or if you’re trying to decide if now is the right time to plan, I can help.
Amp Up Your Adaptability
One tool I use to help build teams’/individuals’ adaptability skills is the AQai assessment.
