Strategic Planning and Evaluation
We have developed a participatory, dynamic, ten step strategic planning process which energises and engages the whole organisation.
Using this process you can evaluate your achievements, identify your strategic issues, and set your future goals.
This framework can help you put your vision into practice based on the values at the heart of your organisation.
A Strategic Plan is not just there to keep the Donors happy! It can give you a real sense of direction and team work if everyone is involved in developing the plan from the start.
The Strategic Plan and the ideas and decisions it contains need to be “owned” by the whole team or organisation, with commitment at all levels. Participatory methods of planning encourage this, rather than “top down”. It should be fun!
The Plan will inform management styles, goals and decisions.
It will help your team to think strategically in their work and understand how it fits into the overall goals of the organisation.
Strategic thinking means retaining flexibility, creativity and motivation, as well as focus and clear boundaries. It should help to see where you can be most effective and avoid taking on too much.
We have developed more than 50 strategic plans for large and small organisations in the not for profit sector. Major clients have included: -
- Oxfam
- Citizens’ Advice Bureaux
- Save the Children
- Age Concern
- Women’s National Commission
