With today’s changing demographics, political and economic pressures are placing severe demands upon social service organizations, cultural institutions and business trade associations alike. More than ever, there is a need for not-for-profit organizations to refine, or even redefine, their mission to examine why they exist, for whom they provide value and in what ways they create that value. While most not-for-profit organizations usually devote significant time and energy to annual planning and budgeting, too few commit the time to true strategic planning—to evaluating their mission, creating and empowering a vision of how the mission will be accomplished over the next number of years and then, most importantly, to implementing the vision.
Blackman Kallick Strategy, Business and Sales Planning, headed by Stuart Baum, works closely with such organizations to help facilitate this very important process. Understanding that momentum is critical, they work with their clients’ management teams and boards as part of a process that invites broad participation and open-minded thinking to facilitate the development of actionable plans, assigned responsibilities and the will to get things done. The clear goal is to help client organizations bridge the “strategy gap” to take them from where they are to where they could be.
