Strategic Planning and Implementation

Build Your Strategy

A well-designed, strategic plan is vital to the long-term success and sustainability of any nonprofit organization. In addition to helping you achieve your mission and goals, a strategic plan can also help you build organizational alignment and ensure that your stakeholders are working towards a common purpose.

My process is tailored to the unique needs of your organization and involves extensive stakeholder engagement to ensure that everyone’s voice is heard. Together, we co-create a plan that is evidence-informed, achievable and aligned with your organization’s values and priorities.

Throughout the process, I provide design, facilitation, documentation and implementation support to ensure that your strategic plan is not just a document, but a living roadmap for your organization’s success.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you deepen your impact and achieve lasting change in your community.

Growth Strategy for NonProfits

Deepen Your Impact

Growing a successful nonprofit organization is no easy feat. It requires a tremendous amount of effort, dedication and resources. As a former nonprofit leader, I understand the challenges that you face and the importance of having a solid growth strategy in place.

Whether you’re planning a merger, developing a collaboration, or looking to scale your services, I can help you create a sustainable growth plan that aligns with your mission and goals. Through a collaborative process, we will work together to assess your organization’s strengths and weaknesses, identify opportunities for growth, and develop a customized strategy that maximizes your impact and drives positive change.

Let’s work together to create a growth strategy that takes your organization to the next level.

Stakeholder Analysis, Engagement and facilitation

Build Strong Relationships

Do you wonder if you are providing your stakeholders with what they need? Do you wonder how you are perceived as an organization?

Your stakeholders are one of your most valuable assets and they have expectations of you. Engaging them and seeking their input can yield a wealth of information to support your mission and build strong stakeholder relationships.

This is a critical process for nonprofits. It involves identifying key stakeholders, understanding their interests and perspectives, and engaging them in processes. This ensures that your strategy and operations align with your stakeholders’ needs and expectations, resulting in greater support and impact.

Set Your Destination

Do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels or that people within your organization are going in different directions?

Creating an inspirational vision, mission and values is crucial for your nonprofit to establish its identity, communicate its purpose effectively, and create a roadmap for its future.

It helps you align your resources, strategies and actions with your objectives and make better decisions.

This clarity will enable you to attract and retain donors, volunteers and employees who share your values, and build trust and credibility with stakeholders.

Lori skillfully planned and facilitated feedback sessions and focus groups, led our steering committee through some challenging and meaningful planning and discussions, and solidified our goal setting with us while ensuring those voices were heard and incorporated into our plan. She adapted quickly to understand our unique organization and community and to help us prioritize and articulate the work we need to do in the coming years. We’re confident that the work Lori has done with us provides a workable and purpose-driven strategy.
