trategic planning is the cornerstone of success for any agency – providing the framework for service initiatives and guiding financial outlays and future direction. It’s important to look at where you are now, where you want to go, and then make a plan to get there.
The strategic planning process isn’t a “one size fits all” scenario. Some agencies have already established solid foundational tenets, and simply need a refresh of future direction. Some just need help interviewing stakeholders to measure the effectiveness of prior planning. Some may want to use an Appreciative Inquiry approach. Some are new nonprofits, and don’t know where to start with a strategic planning process.
There are options depending on what best meets your needs! OneSource Center has recently developed a modular process that can easily be adapted to each agency’s needs. From using a traditional model and full plan to reviewing prior work done and what pieces meet your current needs, we tailor a plan for each agency.
Where do you begin? Simply contact us! Initial conversations are free and can get your agency on the path to strategic success. Join the hundreds of agencies that have utilized OneSource Center’s extensive experience in this area and our cost-efficient approaches to meeting your needs.
