Strategic Planning is Really Fun!

I LOVE strategic planning as a process to clarify direction to an organization, provide clarity to staff on implementing mission and vision, and allow assessment of the board, the staff, and the overall organization. This does not have to be a complicated process with hundreds of goals and thousands of objectives stored in tabulated notebooks on a dusty shelf. A few simple goals, supported by a handfull of objectives and action steps (who, by when)...all measurable...and you have a roadmap for the future. Mission statement, vision statement, strategic plan, needs assessment, priorities, case statement...before long you are ready for a major gift campaign! Now all you need is a competent, ethical consultant!
