A Fresh Approach to Nonprofit Strategic Planning
Our Strategy Passport System is designed to be easy to understand and implement. Using a travel theme, we engage your board and team to cover all the elements of a solid strategy.
The Itinerary for Great Strategic Planning
Who We Are
Mission + Values
Your organization likely already has a mission statement, but revisiting it in light of today’s realities helps ensure alignment for the future. Whether established or still emerging, guiding values provide a shared framework for decision-making, behavior, and culture.
Where We’re Going
Vision
A clear, concise, and compelling vision is one of an organization’s greatest assets. When the destination is clear, the right people are far more willing to commit to the journey.
How We’ll Get There
Strategy + Goals
Finding alignment around shared initiatives is a superpower for nonprofit teams. A strong strategic plan moves an organization beyond “business as usual” to a clear, intentional path forward. We specialize in helping teams define that path and build shared enthusiasm for following it.
What We’ll Take (and What We’ll Leave Behind)
Enablers + Organized Abandonment
When building a plan, it is critical to consider both the resources required to achieve it and the capacity needed to pursue new initiatives. Organized abandonment is the intentional practice of letting go of what no longer serves the organization. Combined with clarity about what is needed, we’ll discover what equips your organization for success.
How We’ll Know We’ve Arrived
Results
Measurement and reporting are the mechanisms that tell us if we’re achieving our aims. Results don’t have to be complicated, and not all of them need to be metrics. They do need to be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (SMART).
