What is strategic planning? What is it not? Why is it important?

Virtual

Nonprofit organizations are being challenged more than ever by impatient donors and community stakeholders to achieve greater impact on the significant issues and problems evident throughout our neighborhoods and communities. Strategic planning is a systematic approach that engages the leadership and critical partners to develop a plan for the future that outlines specific strategies, tactics, and measurable outcomes. If nonprofit organizations are to survive and thrive, they need to think and act strategically.

Performance Management

Managing staff performance is one of the most important roles of supervisors in any organization. When we think of performance management, we tend to think of annual performance reviews or addressing significant personnel issues. When supervisors manage all performance, including excellent performance, with intentionality, there are fewer issues to address and conducting performance reviews isn't such a heavy lift.
