Join host Peter Johnson as he speaks with Sophia Shaw, cofounder of PlanPerfect, a groundbreaking software platform transforming how nonprofits plan and execute their missions.

Sophia draws on her decades of leadership in the nonprofit sector — from serving as President and CEO of the Chicago Botanic Garden to teaching nonprofit governance at Kellogg School of Management — to explain why strategic planning shouldn’t be a dreaded exercise with sticky notes and whiteboards. Instead, it can be clear, empowering, and measurable.

Together, they explore how PlanPerfect helps nonprofit leaders and boards turn ideas into action, track their progress, and demonstrate tangible impact — and why philanthropists should start asking every organization they support one simple question: “Can you show me your strategic plan?”
