Facilitated Strategy Session
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're looking for someone to facilitate a retreat style operations planning session (or two) to help kick start an annual process that will keep us on track with our strategic goals. This project should help us outline the next 6 months and provide a clear map for accomplishing what we've prioritized.
What we have in place
- We currently have strategic goals, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have FY21 budget, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,465 , allowing us to spend time intentionally driving our mission forward and not stuck in the weeds of project and goal implementation.
We have some general strategic goals, but we need an actionable plan for accomplishing them. This project is somewhere between flying the plane as we build it and planning for the future, but we're hoping to find a schedule of planning an implementation that allows us to plan ahead by about a year. We need something that sets us up so that the next time we do this sort of operations planning the plane is built and it's all goals for the next year.
Project plan
Our mission
SCAN of Northern Virginia promotes the well-being of children, improves parent-child relations and prevents child abuse and neglect by: educating the community about child abuse/neglect and the importance of positive parenting; providing parent education; and advocating for children in the community, the legislature and the courts.
What we do
The Alexandria/Arlington Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program is a program of SCAN of Northern Virginia, a not-for-profit organization committed to speaking for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the Virginia Juvenile Courts. CASA recruits, trains, and supervises volunteers who advocate for this vulnerable population. Once sworn in, advocates are appointed by Family Court Judges to represent and advocate for a child's best interests while they are involved with the child protection system. They gather information from the children, families, and professionals involved in the case and submit a written report to the court with their findings and recommendations. It is every volunteer's job to be an objective observer while they advocate for the children they serve. The CASA program's primary goal is to ensure that each and every child is permitted to grow up in a safe, stable, and permanent home.
