A strategic plan is a helpful tool – but only if it’s being used. Join A17 Consulting to learn practical approaches for nonprofits of any size to put their strategic plan into action, with consideration of the increased uncertainty many organizations are facing. Topics will include recognizing what is currently actionable, prioritizing strategies, implementation planning, action planning, and determining when it’s time to change course. Leave with tools, templates, and a better understanding of how to make progress on your strategic objectives despite the uncertainty.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the relationships and distinctions between strategic plans, implementation plans, and action plans
- Understand approaches for identifying and prioritizing actionable opportunities in the face of uncertainty
- Feel equipped and knowledgeable to use implementation and action planning tools and templates in your organization
- Build comfort with adjusting strategies and tactics in response to changing circumstances
