Facilitated Planning
for NFP's and SME's
If you don't know where you're going, how are you going to know when you've arrived?"
Planning is arguably the most important thing your organisation needs to get right in order to survive and thrive. It is a process that brings your community together to establish strategic and operational goals; it provides clarity of purpose to all involved and it communicates your ideals and agenda to your members or contributors, stakeholders and the broader community.
Unfortunately, many organisations do it badly or don't do it at all. Plans that are overly complicated, plans that fail to connect with reality, plans that are created in good faith and then sit in cupboards because nobody knows what do with them are worse than useless - they're a waste of everyone's time, energy and good intentions!
There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to planning and I would love to help you develop plans and planning, review and evaluation cycles that are made to measure for your organisation.
Strategic Planning can go more smoothly with the assistance of a facilitator – someone to help you prepare your agenda; pull your ideas together, keep your timing on track and present you with a finished product.
It should also be one of the most enjoyable, constructive and engaging experiences you have in your . It doesn't have to be hard, it doesn't have to be onerous and it certainly doesn't have to be complicated. Call me.
