Great post Emily. Thanks for including me. With over two decades of helping nonprofits run better and having seen strategic planning go off the rails in all the ways you just described, my approach to strategic planning today pivots away from the traditional model in 2 BIG ways: 1. Strategic planning is led by the staff. (The board only involvement is to confirm that there is a plan and that the plan makes logical sense) 2. The goal setting process for strategic planning gets done every two months, so the plans are always up-to-date, can evolve based on the latest information, and teams never have to learn how to plan or plan to plan, saving everyone a ton of time.

🚫Your Board Shouldn’t be Approving Your Budgets! 📊💰 I know... at first that sounds bold... 🗣️ But stay with me because I've been working on this for a while. If this bold new approach makes you a little queasy at first, consider this question: 💡 When you are approving a budget, what exactly are you approving? Is it specific line items?
