Next steps? (for Board discussion and guidance)

From Strategic Planning to Strategic Innovation?


Next steps? - some suggestions received

“Vision Strategy” instead of a traditional strategic plan?

Two documents; the strategy vision and a tactical map for action.

Refine our 'creed' (what keeps us volunteers, spending our time and money, and working together for 50 years); revise the mission as needed on the basis of current data and further discussion; identify 'where we want to be in 2020'; and align resources to achieve the mission through targeted activities


Next steps? - some suggestions received

Data-mine the list of important challenges that has been compiled to date. It contains a mix of ideas, suggestions, potential projects, long-term goals, etc.

Given the size of our operational organization and its mostly volunteer-based nature, use a small-to-medium size-project-oriented and incremental approach to identify projects selected on the basis of their feasibility, their potential return on investment, and their strategic alignment with our vision/plan.



Sustainability?
