Strengthening Organizations That Serve Communities
Do you know what you want your organization or program to achieve but you aren’t sure how to get there? Maybe board, staff and volunteers don't agree on what the organization is trying to accomplish. Or, maybe you will be searching for a new executive director and you need to gain new clarity about your organization's strategic direction.
Whether we do quick strategic visioning to prepare for leadership transition or comprehensive strategic planning, your organization will bring its strategic direction into sharp focus. A strategic plan creates a collective framework – a group level roadmap – for deciding how to move your organization‘s performance from one place to another. At Managance Consulting, we‘ll partner with you to design just the right plan to guide the direction of your organization and its future development. During this process, we can:
- Gather input from volunteer leaders, staff and stakeholders, giving them ownership of the process and letting them know that everyone‘s views are important and appreciated.
- Analyze and interpret that input to help clarify the diverse viewpoints of your colleagues, customers and leaders.
- Provide engaging opportunities to consider your mission and vision for the future of your organization and ensure program activities and plans are coherent and will help achieve your mission.
- Collect information from a wealth of different sources in an environmental scan – including demographic, market, customer and company data – and interpret that information to help you in determining responsive, effective strategies.
- Use data and diverse perspectives to push your thinking about new approaches, strategies, and programs.
- Incorporate organization development tools into strategic planning, helping you to set up the course that will take your organization from planning to implementation – and making sure everyone on your team knows what they have to do to help get you there.
- Design and help facilitate strategic planning meetings where proposals will be discussed – and where our engaging, interactive and exciting exercises ensure that everyone‘s ideas will be considered.
- Draft a complete strategic plan that refreshes the organization‘s vision for the future and includes effective strategies, realistic goals and measurable objectives.
- Help staff draft a workable action plan that lets everyone in your organization know just what needs to be done in order to achieve your goals over the life of your strategic plan.
- Provide you with key updates and pertinent information even after your plan is approved. We ensure that you will continue to have the tools needed to maintain smart, effective growth.
Managance Consulting calls our approach to strategic thinking and planning RESPONSIVE AND BOLD. RESPONSIVE means that an organization should consider the experience of its market and its customers. BOLD means that an organization should challenge itself to find new and better ways to achieve its potential. In being RESPONSIVE we believe organizations should understand needs in their target markets and what their “customers‘” value about their work. It is also important for them to understand political, economic and social trends and to anticipate their impact (real or potential) on the organization. In being BOLD we believe organizations need to shake up the status quo and consider new risks. You can count on Managance Consulting to help you do this.
Our specialty is helping your organization be RESPONSIVE and BOLD, first with top quality market and customer research and second with innovative and fresh ideas that are being tested in the field. We help get the collective thinking of your organization on the table and push you to think about your organization‘s future in exciting new ways.
With our focused, results–oriented approach, we can help you make the planning process easier. For more information on how we can help you, contact us today.
