Independent Book Publishers Association, Business Category
The world changes continuously and rapidly. It's foolhardy to believe
that strategies should not do so as well. Nonprofit leaders already know
this, but traditional strategic planning has locked them into a process
that's divorced from today's reality. That's why plans sit on the shelf
and why smart executives are always seeking workarounds in between
planning periods. The Nonprofit Strategy Revolution offers a nimble
and powerful alternative. In this groundbreaking book, strategy expert
David La Piana introduces "Real-Time Strategic Planning," a fluid,
organic process that engages staff and board in a program of systematic
readiness and continuous responsiveness. With it, your nonprofit will be
able to identify, understand, and act on challenges and opportunities as
they arise. At the heart of this practical book is the Real-Time
Strategic Planning Cycle. Based on four years of research and testing
with a variety of nonprofits, this proven process guides you through the
steps to sound strategy. You'll find tools for clarifying your
competitive advantage; generating a strategy screen--criteria for
evaluating strategies to be able to respond quickly; handling big
questions; developing and testing strategies; and implementing and
adapting strategies.
This second edition features a timely new preface and introduction;
updated exhibits and case examples showing how concepts play out in
real-life; five new tools, for a total of 32 --10 of which are essential
for forming strategies; Theory to Action sidebars telling you which tool
to use for a given task; and a link to downloadable tools and
worksheets, as well as a Facilitator's Guide to Real-Time Strategic
Planning that gives you everything you need: the day's agenda,
instructions for preparing flip charts, prework to be done, handouts,
and worksheets. Use The Nonprofit Strategy Revolution and get the
clarity and direction you need for maximum mission success.
