Now may be the perfect time to develop a strategic plan or review your existing plan to ensure it is still in line with the organization’s vision and priorities.  Suddes Partners leads organizations through the strategic planning process, which will provide the foundation to clearly articulate the organization’s key strategic objectives, priority initiatives and resources needed to achieve them.

A strategic plan is a key tool in ensuring an organization has a plan to successfully fulfill its mission over the next three to five years. With limited resources, non-profit organizations need to ensure they are focused in areas that are clearly of the highest priority to best serve their community.

Working with staff and volunteer leaders, Suddes Partners facilitates a process to identify or confirm the organization’s core mission, vision and key strategic objectives, resulting in a “roadmap” that clearly articulates the goals of the organization.  A strategic plan also defines current and future resources necessary to achieve those objectives, thus providing a solid “case” to achieve the necessary funding priorities.

The strategic planning process includes:

• Suddes Partners’ thorough review of all current key materials and information pertaining to the organization’s mission, vision and objectives.
• Facilitated meetings, focus groups and surveys with key stakeholders (e.g.- staff, board, donors, etc.) to begin formulating priority objectives for the organization.
• Facilitated strategy / visioning sessions with the board to formulate and adopt a strategic plan.
• Delivery of a Strategy Articulation Map – which summarizes the organization’s mission, vision, key strategic objectives, and the priority initiatives needed to accomplish the stated objectives.

The strategic plan becomes a working document for the organization and includes tangible and actionable items. It leaves little gray area allowing non-profit leaders to confidently make decisions on behalf of the organization; although it also allows for flexibility should adjustments be needed down the road. Our process and experience ensures this is not a plan that gets put “on the shelf” once we leave. It becomes part of the daily life of the organization and creates quantifiable, positive results.
