Check out Carol's podcast, Nonprofit Mission: Impact: https://gracesocialsector.com/mission... Strategic planning for nonprofits gets treated like a document you produce, and lately like something you can ask ChatGPT to produce for you. Carol Hamilton, founder of Grace Social Sector Consulting and host of the Nonprofit Mission: Impact podcast, makes the case that the document was never the point. The planning is: the team in the room, the assumptions that finally get said out loud, a plan people will actually carry out. Carol and Cherry get into what a real process looks like, how to separate the big-picture plan from a shorter implementation plan, when to revisit it so it doesn't go stale, and a tool called a strategy screen for deciding which new opportunities are worth saying yes to. 00:00 Introduction to Strategic Planning in Nonprofits 01:20 The Role of AI in Strategic Planning 03:50 The Importance of Collaborative Planning 10:20 Shifting Mindsets for Team Involvement 13:00 Facilitating Effective Strategic Planning 15:43 Revisiting and Adapting the Strategic Plan 19:12 Defining Success and Evaluation Metrics 21:34 Navigating Change and Adjustments 26:25 Strategic Planning Across Organization Sizes 33:21 Making Strategic Planning Fun and Engaging #Nonprofits #StrategicPlanning #NonprofitLeadership #AIforNonprofits
