Strategic Planning & Facilitation
The Problem
Many nonprofits approach strategic planning with care and intention, but the resulting plans can feel disconnected from everyday decisions.
Common challenges include:
Too many priorities competing for limited capacity
Strategic plans that are broad, aspirational, or difficult to operationalize
Leadership teams that are not fully aligned on tradeoffs or direction
Staff uncertainty about how their work connects to larger goals
Strategy that is developed once and rarely revisited

Clarifying the organization's purpose, priorities, and tradeoffs
