Governance and strategy

Governance and strategy: to navigate today’s turbulent environment, nonprofits need a focused mission, a strategic plan aligned with that mission, reliable implementation and effective governance practices. But developing a strategic plan that moves smoothly into implementation can be difficult. And, building a governance model that consistently adds value can be an elusive goal for many nonprofits.

We’ve helped scores of nonprofits, large and small, national and local, federated and stand-alone, to address these kinds of challenges. We can provide the guidance and coaching you require to position your organization for success by:

• reviewing your organization’s strategic plan, and providing you with an assessment
• using “© critical success factors for sound governance” as a framework for diagnosing any governance difficulties you may be encountering
• providing the conceptual thinking and skilled writing which, along with critical input from staff, can yield a motivating, results-oriented strategic plan
• determining how and when to engage your board of directors productively in your strategic planning process
• reinforcing what’s sometimes a “missing link” between the strategic plan and its implementation
• guiding you through a process of organizational change, if needed
  charting a program that will lead to a stronger board providing more effective leadership.
