Strategic Thinking and Planning

The 'true' competitive advantage comes from being at the strategic level of thinking and of planning.

 

Are your planning efforts taking you where you need to go? Are you sure? Many organizations plan only  two to three years, and no longer. Learn why a longer range plan is essential and the benefits a farther horizon gives to your organization.

  • Things change so fast, is it really practical to plan longer than a year?

  • What is strategic thinking and how does that relate to strategic planning?

  • How can strategic thinking make each board meeting more productive for all concerned?

Practical considerations of budgets and forecasting have caused many non-profit organizations to abandon their blue-sky ideals. As a result, many organizations feel good about hitting the numbers but have lost their passion for their social missions. The work, both volunteer and paid, has become drudgery and less satisfying. Finding uniqueness and differentiation is key to standing out from the to gain a competitive advantage in recruiting good people to the cause, and in attracting revenue to pursue the mission. Strategic thinking is the way back, the way to put meaning and pizzazz back in the job.

Dan Clark has helped credit unions and other non-profits benefit greatly by pushing their planning horizons to new, and surprising levels. The results include renewed hope and enthusiasm for the mission, and  greater teamwork. Learn how a U.S. treaty in the Pacific in 1887 and the events of 9-11-2001 relate to your planning efforts today. Get back to the basics, the basics of good strategic thinking.
