Today, nonprofit professionals are faced with an increasingly competitive
environment often coupled with a growing need for services. Leaders face
escalating pressure to do more with less: to maximize resources, lower costs,
and meet the needs of diverse stakeholders. In this environment, sound
strategy is essential to an organization's survival and prosperity.
As a team participating in Strategy for Nonprofit Organizations (SNO), you will
learn new frameworks for thinking more strategically about your organization,
linking your strategy to your organization and its mission, and identifying
the key choices and actions necessary to execute both mission and strategy.
SNO presents frameworks for understanding and evaluating strategy, analyzing the competitive environment, using mission to create social and economic value for important stakeholders, and translating strategy into action through
day-to-day decisions about core activities and resource allocation.
Session topics include:
- Identifying strategy, including competitive advantage, scope and logic
- Analyzing the environment, including actors such as competitors, buyers (donors & clients), suppliers (labor), and identifying threats and opportunities
- Articulating and harnessing the power of a mission
- Integrating Mission and Strategy
- Application Exercise: Apply program concepts to participants' own
organizations
