I love the research phase of strategic planning. It's what makes a plan truly strategic. Strategic planning research offers an opportunity to connect with your stakeholders in a unique and meaningful way. By seeking their feedback on your organization's impact and future direction, you're sustaining your mission while also fostering relationships. Strategic planning research also provides an occasion to thoroughly examine your external environment, which isn't always possible during hectic day-to-day activity. So, during your next planning cycle, go all in and embrace the research, for it's an important part of the foundation that will guide strategic thinking throughout the process. #StrategicPlanning #Nonprofit #NonprofitLeadership #Research

We were delighted to see about 40 people attending the M+S Collaborations Workshop! Thanks to Jean Butzen, M+S Founder and Greg Petersen, Keystone Alliance CEO, for sharing their knowledge and experience. We had an engaging group of people who really are focused on building capacity through strategic collaborations to better serve and support their clients. The amazing talent and depth of knowledge in our audience really made it such a rich experience all-around. Some of the key insights workshop participants left the session with included: → The importance of being flexible and persistent in the success of a strategic collaboration → The exponential benefit this can have on capacity building → The option of using an asset transfer as a corporate structure All fantastic take-aways! Additionally, participants wanted to see us give future workshops on managing change, culture alignment, and integration. So we are curious, what topics would you like to see us share information about? #nonprofit #nonprofitleadership #nonprofitorganizations #nonprofitleaders #nonprofitstrategy #collaborations

Tuesday Thought challenge 💡 What would you do differently if your for-profit business was a #nonprofit? Would you pay your employees differently? Would you choose different suppliers? Would you redesign your offerings? Would you create a new long-term growth plan and KPIs? There are over 8000 B corporations worldwide and over 1.9 million non-profits in the US alone. Not every company is meant to be either, but everyone can learn from and be inspired by them. I challenge business leaders, small and large, to sit with this question. A change in perspective may unlock growth potential and a positive #impact for people, community, and the planet. #sustainablebusiness #impact #tuesdaythoughts #responsiblegrowth

If you find yourself in a situation where your organization could benefit from a solid plan to guide your decisions, then this post is just for you! The best kept secret about strategic plans is their ability to break down barriers within an organization. Unlike plans that only focus on specific departments or functions, strategic plans encompass the entire organization. By integrating different plans into one comprehensive framework, we can identify overlaps, optimize staff time, and make necessary adjustments. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of our organization works together seamlessly, resulting in efficiency and effectiveness. Let's use strategic planning to build strong, adaptable, and successful organizations!

Strategic planning serves as the crucial intersection where an organization’s vision, mission, values and strategy meet, giving rise to a powerful potential for creating lasting impact for the beneficiaries of its services and supports. This process involves a deliberate and thoughtful approach to charting a clear path forward, aligning the organization's goals with its core values and purpose. By defining a compelling vision, outlining a mission that embodies the organization's values, and formulating a strategic plan, an organization can effectively navigate the complexities of its environment and seize opportunities while mitigating risks. Through strategic planning, organizations can optimize their resources, enhance their  competitive advantage, and ultimately deliver meaningful and sustainable benefits to those they serve, ensuring a positive and enduring impact on the lives of their beneficiaries. At M+S, we believe both the process and the final product are equally important. Join us this month as we share a 3-part series on Strategic Planning. Next week where we’re sharing why conversations are pivotal in your strategic planning process. Our goal is to help you in your strategic planning journey so be sure to check back! #strategicplanning #nonprofit #nonprofitleadership
