What’s the point of strategic planning? Is it just something nonprofits are “supposed” to do? How do we actually use it to guide our day-to-day work? How does the whole organization buy into a strategic plan?These are the questions we love to hear.In this episode, Tucker Wannamaker, CEO of THRIVE IMPACT, and Sarah Fanslau, Chief of Impact, discuss a few core questions at the heart of the rebirth of the strategic planning process. We talk about why strategic planning is important in the first place and where it goes off the rails. We identify the pain points nonprofit leaders face around buy-in and the common pitfalls of developing a strategic plan. Spoiler: Most strategic plans are doomed from the start.Throughout the episode, we also dive into how strategic planning can actually be a means to resolving numerous issues throughout the organization. Improved culture, staff retention, and engagement are a few unexpected byproducts of a co-created strategic plan.LINKShttps://thriveimpact.org
