Strategic Development

Strategic Development

Is everyone within your organisation clear on their role, over a given planning period, in delivering your mission? 

Does your strategy reflect the context that you currently operate in? 

We can help you understand your operating and funding environment, identify key drivers that could affect your organisation, and help you to set focused strategies to achieve your vision; then put all of this in a concise and straightforward plan. 

The implementation and management of your plan is seamlessly integrated throughout your organisation through WePlanWell, an intuitive online strategic planning tool.

Here’s how we can guide you in the development of a robust and accessible strategic plan.

  • Environmental review and needs assessment, including SWOT and PESTLE Analysis.
  • Identify and rank the critical issues that could affect your organisation.
  • Clarify vision, mission, values and identify top-line strategic initiatives.
  • Development of goals, objectives, operational action plans and key performance indicators.
  • Develop plans for staffing and resourcing the strategy.
  • Set up a system to manage and report on your strategic plan.

 

Outcomes

  • A clear understanding of the foundations of the organisation, its strengths and weaknesses, and recommendations on how you could best respond to the opportunities and threats you are facing.
  • A step-by-step strategic plan that matches resources with the needs of your beneficiaries, outlining a path towards fulfilment of your vision.  
  • Giving your organisation a sense of common purpose, motivating trustees, staff and volunteers to deliver achievable objectives.
  • Providing a tool that easily enables you to manage the implementation of your strategy, track attainment of your goals and generate reports with the click of a mouse.
