Changemaker Conversations: The Podcast for Nonprofit Leaders

Strategic Planning Secrets Revealed

Listen Later

Should your nonprofit be strategic planning right now? In this episode of Changemaker Conversations, Prosper Strategies co-founders Alyssa Conrardy and Lindsay Mullen say yes—but only if you’re doing it the right way.

They pull back the curtain on what makes a strategic plan actually work (and what makes it flop), drawing on lessons from their work with organizations like Feeding America and Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

You'll learn:

  • The three critical stumbling blocks that cause most nonprofit strategic plans to fail
  • Why constituent and stakeholder involvement transforms strategic planning outcomes
  • How to make your strategic plan a living, breathing document rather than a shelf decoration
  • The precise roles board and staff should play throughout the planning process
  • Practical strategies for building agility into your plan during uncertain times
