Committed stakeholders with an understanding of your organization's purpose, values, and vision

What Do You Get?
Strategy Development is a comprehensive planning process designed for nonprofit organizations. The process creates strategies for the allocation of resources to create value for your organization and gain a competitive advantage.
Strategy Development is different from most nonprofit strategic planning processes that often result in static documents that organizations cannot use. Strategy Development provides your organization with the tools to implement its strategies through a dynamic planning process that is responsive to results, and internal and external changes.
The process enables your organization to allocate resources and align people to strategically-important objectives by:
-
Enabling an interactive and provocative exchange among key staff and volunteers
-
Identifying the core purpose, competencies and true mission of your organization
-
Creating a long-term vision of the organization
-
Analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
-
Creating key strategies
-
Developing action plans based on these strategies
-
Following the full day planning session, DNS will work with identified committees in implementing the plan for 12 months.
