Here’s what I do believe:

• The process should match the nonprofit’s current life cycle.
  • i.e. Is your nonprofit well established and your environment is relatively stable, or do you have new leadership and are shifting to a governance board model vs. grassroots? Is your nonprofit facing a crisis that requires an immediate shift in priorities?  
• The plan should be designed to meet the nonprofit’s current needs and the organization’s capacity to fulfill the plan’s design.
• The process and final plan should feel manageable and worthwhile whether it leads to a realignment and recommitment to your current mission or offers the opportunity to revisit and revise it.

Here’s how I help:

• I provide a strategic planning framework that matches where your organization is and where its people are at.
• I ensure a highly collaborative (and engaging) process that ultimately leads to a user-friendly tool (the plan) with clear goals, objectives, outcomes and impact measures.
• I offer support to help you fulfill your plan and/or adjust when new situations and opportunities arise that require an adaptation to the plan.
