Strategic Planning Resources

Sending work emails until bedtime with a listless nights sleep and an early morning rise...only to encounter more emails with diverse -- sometimes conflicting -- demands on time and resources. You know that if you asked every member of your board what your organizations main focus was they would each give you a different answer. And you love your supporters...yet they feel the organization has such little grounding they can tell you what your organization should be doing as well. It's official. The anchor is up and you are drifting in the ocean. You have known it for some time now, but at some point it is time to say, "today we start our Strategic Planning Process."

So perhaps it is not that simple. One person cannot make such an edict without buy-in from the other stakeholders -- likely those who were writing those emails! Let's start by discovering how to tell if it is time to explore strategic planning.
