As a consultant, I get a lot of questions about strategic planning: What is a strategic plan? Do we need a strategic plan? How does an organization actually write a strategic plan? How long will it take? If we start now can we have a strategic plan next week (next month, next year)? If we want a consultant to manage the process, how do we find the money to hire that person. And what does this consultant actually do? What components should be in a strategic plan How can I overcome objections to strategic planning Last month, I answered these questions at a presentation at The Commerce Club in Atlanta. I felt it would be worthwhile to turn this into a series of blog posts. These posts might anger some nonprofit consultants because the isn’t always “go ask a consultant”
