Have you ever heard the old cliché of the strategic plan that sits on the shelf gathering dust? Haven’t we all? But it's a cliche for a reason–because it has been true for so long.
But a better question is: Why is it true?
In this episode, Tucker Wannamaker, CEO of THRIVE IMPACT, and Sarah Fanslau, Chief of Impact, discuss how newer approaches to strategic planning can help improve culture, increase impact, and ensure that the old cliché doesn’t apply to your nonprofit.
We talk about and define these approaches, including Appreciative Inquiry and co-creation, and share how, when combined, they can help organizations actually shift how they address and deal with change over time.
This episode will help you take strategic planning out of the board room and bring it into the break room–where it has belonged all along.
