Collective Impact is providing a training workshop on Strategic Planning: Positioning Your Organization for Success for nonprofit organizations in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area through the Carnegie Pittsburgh Library – Nonprofit Resources Center and for West Virginia nonprofits through the West Virginia Nonprofit Association WVNPA. In today’s rapidly changing environment, nonprofit organizations need to be keenly aware of how changes in funding priorities, customer/client needs and preferences, technology, marketing, and resource availability affects their capacity to deal proactively with change, successfully meet their mission, and survive beyond sustainability. Being aware of these changes isn’t even enough; nonprofits need to be equipped to make the difficult changes necessary to succeed and thrive! In order to achieve your desired organizational and community impact, there must be an implementable plan in place to address change head-on. Strategic planning helps you figure out where you are now, where you want to go, what is standing in your way, what is there to support you on your way, and what you need to get there. This session will address the steps of strategic planning, who should be involved, and what do with the plan once it is developed.

“Collective Impact – particularly the expertise and enthusiasm of Bruce Decker – was a win for our organization. Bruce was able to provide our nonprofit executive leadership a plethora of strategies on collaborations in a compelling, fun, and interactive way. Bruce challenged existing paradigms and empowered leadership to approach collaborations in a new way. Since the workshop, several of our groups have partnered successfully to maximize on resources.
