Facilitated Strategy Session

Project details

What we need
  • Expert third party advice on process or managerial changes, geographic or programmatic expansion, potential pivots, or general strategic planning
  • Facilitation of an intensive, one-day strategic planning session with staff and/or Board
  • Note: If necessary, a follow-up strategic planning session may be scheduled
Additional details

We are a 150 employee 15 million dollar not for profit that is seeking assistance with our strategic plan. We are in the process of accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). We have very specific guidelines that must be met in the plan in order to meet the CARF requirements. Some of these requirements include:
* Expectations of people served and stakeholders
* Information on competitors
* Financial threats/opportunities

What we have in place
  • We currently have a team of people to work on the project, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have An outline of what is required by CARF., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,465 , allowing us to to use the money to pay for the accreditation which is not allocated in our state budget but yet required.

Centerboard is embarking on an intense accreditation process of which the strategic plan is an integral piece. Without this accreditation we would not meet the requirements of the Family First Act and we would have to close programming and layoff staff. Not to mention that the youth we serve in these programs would be displaced. We have not had a strategic plan for the last 10 years. The outline of this project would ensure that we complete a review and update annually.
