You should still register; all registrants will receive a recording of the webinar.
The New Year is a perfect time to reassess your organisation’s strategic plan; what’s your mission, what do you want to achieve, and how are you going to prioritise the areas deemed most important to the health and success of your nonprofit organisation, philanthropic foundation or social enterprise?
These are all crucial discussions for your leadership team. But defining a strategic plan is more than that. It’s also a unique opportunity for cultural transformation. By including everyone; your board, staff and other stakeholders in the planning process, you will be fostering a more collaborative and inclusive culture – and you could also be uncovering some creative and insightful ideas you may not have thought of before.
Join two of the world’s leading thinkers on the topic – Denise McNerney, President of iBossWell in the US/ President-elect for the global Association for Strategic Planning and Lewis Atkinson, systems thinker and architect of strategic and social change at Haines Centre Australia – for this fascinating webinar.
What you’ll learn
Designed for leaders and board members of nonprofit, philanthropic and social enterprise organisations, you will learn:
- why strategic planning is essential to your organisation’s success;
- key steps to devise an effective strategic plan;
- what culture helps you make decisions; and
- tools to engage all your stakeholders in the planning process.
Key findings from the ASP best practice survey
To get you thinking, we’ve included three key findings from the Association for Strategic Planning’s best practice survey:
- Routine Periodic Process: When the planning process becomes routine and part of the culture of an organization, it can lead to significant organizational alignment and focus on agreed-upon priorities.
- Successful implementation Practices: While strategic planning is vital, it does not on its own cause success. To ultimately realize tangible results, alignment behind the strategic plan is necessary, along with an effective plan implementation, or “strategic management” process.
Impact on Overall Organizational Success: non-profit organizational success, to a measurable degree, comes from having a process in place for determining strategy and the management discipline to follow through and execute. When these two practices are linked together, the likelihood of achieving success increases.
