Nonprofit Skills: Strategic Planning for Board Members
Aimed at nonprofit board members, this course is designed to help you apply basic strategic-planning skills to your nonprofit organization. Self-paced and highly interactive, the course covers the six stages of the formal strategic planning process — preparation; mission and vision; strategic assessment; strategy formulation; implementation; and evaluation — as well as approaches for rapidly developing strategies for situations not anticipated by the strategic plan. Three case studies enable you to apply what you have learned to real-world situations, with support materials that help you develop strategies for your own organization.
This course can be applied to the Nonprofit Skills: Board Fundamentals Certificate.
