“It’s put the board and the staff in the same place, we all know what the plan is and we can communicate around that.”
- Michael Willard, Executive Director, Austin Habitat for Humanity
In a nutshell, strategic planning is the process of determining what your organization intends to accomplish and how you will direct your resources toward achieving those goals. We believe every nonprofit should have a clear, compelling 3-5 year strategic plan that is regularly reviewed and updated.
Our strategic planning services provide your nonprofit with:
- A customized collaborative, inclusive planning process that builds ownership of your plan within and outside of your organization
- A set of key performance indicators (impact and outcomes metrics), usually summarized in an organizational performance dashboard, by which you can measure your success over the coming years
- Leading tools, concepts, and constructs (such as the Blue Ocean strategy canvas, the Hedgehog Concept, the 6-Forces Analysis, etc.) to help organize and structure your planning work
- A formal strategic plan document (or documents) that you can use internally to guide your work and externally to communicate to your funders and stakeholders
Strategic Communication: DISC Behavioral Assessment
Being part of a diverse team of nonprofit staff can be a dynamic and rewarding experience. It can also be challenging to work in an environment where a variety of communication styles and expectations about behavior intersect. Greenlights can help your team learn to understand and appreciate behavior styles. Through a DISC assessment, your team can learn to modify their communication approaches for better results.
