The Playbook: Keeping Strategic Planning Relevant

Organizations often lack the time and resources necessary to create the various plans central to their success – strategic, business, marketing/communications and others. 

How do you prioritize them?

Is every part of each of them completely necessary? 

In this session, Bob Culver introduces the Nonprofit Playbook, a hybrid document pulling the essential components of each plan type while maintaining the structure of every good plan (Goal Setting, Analysis, Strategy Formulation, Implementation and Evaluation) to guide your organization.
