Development Reviews And Strategic Planning Strategic Mindsets and Mission Driven Goals Lead the Way! Donors and volunteers are drawn to those organizations that can show a strategic approach to delivering on their mission. The purpose of a strategic planning process is to take a realistic assessment of your strengths and limitations providing a framework that will enable your organization to maximize opportunities to increase funds raised, build on strengths, and chart a course for achieving measurable success. The horizon for most plans is three to five years, after which it is time to re-evaluate. Strategic planning is transformative when done properly. With board and staff committed to its implementation, a strategic plan can be the impetus for growth and revitalization. To be truly effective, a strategic plan must identify: Goals and objectives Action steps to achieve goals Timelines People accountable for the actions Methods for tracking progress Resources to enact the changes The RBR strategic planning process involves: Information collection and review Internal and external stakeholder interviews An environmental scan Board self surveys A presentation of preliminary findings Goal and objective setting completed with the board, senior staff, and key stakeholders A comprehensive strategic plan report – a blueprint for implementing your new strategies, complete with priority areas, tactics, accountability, and critical paths Strategic Advisor: Investing in a strategic planning process that has given you an in-depth assessment of your current situation and committing to a reinvigoration of your fund development program were your first steps.
