Strategic Planning

Strategic planning helps organizations clarify where they are going and how they will get there. A strong strategic plan allows organizations to make confident decisions that are in line with their mission. Strategic planning is especially important for mission-driven organizations that need to balance community impact, the realities of funding, board and stakeholder needs, and staff capacity. 

 

The process of strategic planning might include:

• Mission and vision review — Does your mission and vision still reflect the work you are doing? 

• Environmental scan — What is happening (internally and externally) that could affect your organization?

• Community needs assessment — What does your community need and how could you better serve them?

• Stakeholder engagement — Are the views of all your stakeholders (board members, staff, volunteers, partners, community members, etc.) being heard and considered? 

• Metrics and accountability — How do you know you’re making progress and meeting your goals?
