PART 2 of 6. Strategy Refinement and Alignment In the strategic planning discovery phase, we identify internal and external factors that influence the organization. I have engaging tools that make this process fun for the Board and staff. One essential tool is the SOAR analysis, a positive twist on the traditional SWOT analysis. SOAR focuses on leveraging organizational strengths, exploring opportunities, aligning with aspirations, achieving measurable results, and fostering a collective vision for the future. What I appreciate most about this method is its focus on the positive dimensions of the organization. It promotes an optimistic and imaginative approach to planning. #strategicplanning #capacitybuilding #innovation #organizationaldevelopment #nonprofit #soaranalysis #swot #aspirationalvision #nonprofitboards

How can you ensure your strategic plan doesn’t just sit on a shelf but actually drives your non-profit towards success? First, it’s vital to set clear objectives and milestones. 🥅 Breaking down your goals into achievable steps keeps the team focused and motivated, providing a clear roadmap. Communicating the plan to everyone involved is just as important. 📢 When each team member understands their role and how they contribute to the overall objectives, it fosters alignment and commitment. Assigning responsibilities is another critical step. When tasks are clearly designated, team members know what’s expected of them and who to approach for specific issues. 📝 Regularly monitoring progress helps you stay on track. Establishing check-ins allows you to spot obstacles early and make necessary adjustments. Flexibility is key in the dynamic non-profit sector. 🌍 Being prepared to adapt your plan enables you to respond to new challenges and opportunities without losing sight of your goals. Providing the necessary resources, whether it’s budget, tools, training, or support, ensures that your team can execute the plan without hindrances. 🛠️ Celebrating successes along the way boosts morale and reinforces the value of the strategic plan. 🎉 It’s important to acknowledge milestones and achievements to keep the team’s spirits high. Finally, take time to learn and iterate. 🔄 Reflect on what worked and what didn’t, using these insights to improve future planning processes. #StrategicPlanning #NonProfitSuccess #ImplementationTips #EffectiveLeadership #TeamAlignment #Adaptability #ContinuousImprovement

The first day of our strategic planning will be a deep dive into why we ignored our last strategic plan” - Relatable Nonprofit I am a fundraising strategist and I do a lot of fundraising plans for nonprofit organizations. But all too often strategic plans are regarded as a thought exercise done in a moment in time. That is why I am a proponent of agile strategies. Agile is an iterative approach to testing ideas in the marketplace, gathering feedback, learning, and refining as an ongoing process. Strategic plans are not just a playbook. To be strategic, you need to be a learning organization, committed to strategies that evolve with a refined understanding of your ecosystem.  How are you sensing what is happening in your environment? How are you sensemaking, and then how are you charting the path of your innovation? Now You: Do you find strategic plans useful? Hi my name is Lisa, I help nonprofits design agile funding engines to support their innovation and growth. If you would like to learn more 1.       Follow me on Linkedin 2.     Schedule a 15-30 minute discovery call #fundraising #nonprofit #nonprofitleadership #agile #agilefundraising #strategy #strategicplans #strategicplanning #agilestrategy #agility #interative
