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

What we have in place
  • We currently have a report with our metrics from last year, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have raw data for this year, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,465 , allowing us to remain focused on serving our community of struggling entrepreneurs during COVID, with a priority on Low to Moderate Income women.

It's been several years that we've done a strategic plan and we just expanded our organization from 3.5 to 5.5 staff members with a large grant received from the SBA. It's important we remain focused and are all in line with a direction we are heading in as an organization.
