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

The strategic process we envision would include reviewing the agency's current Vision, Mission, Values and key performance measures, as well as ensuring we are tracking appropriate outcomes. We also need the facilitator's guidance 1) helping the agency conduct an external and internal analysis to help us best understand our purpose and role in the context of the communities we serve, 2) identifying our strategic issues and opportunities, and 3) establishing strategic goals.

What we have in place
  • We currently have past strategic plans, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have performance measures, program overviews, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $12,550 , allowing us to focus that money on finding permanent families for children and youth in foster care and help guide youth who age out of foster care to independent adulthood.

Activities that we would like to undertake and need assistance with include: conducting an assessment of client needs, reviewing our current initiatives, examining our competitors and collaborators, exploring trends in our field and assessing the critical issues we are tackling as an organization. This will help guide our agencies priorities over the coming years to ensure we are serving the community the best way possible.
