Increase Your Success By Focused Spending

Ventureneer — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:28:42 +0000

Some businesses — both nonprofit and for-profit — are like wishing wells: Money and time gets tossed in with vague wishes for success. By clarifying what you want and defining your mission, you can make wishes come true.

Mission-based financial decisions direct your money and energy to those areas that will most efficiently meet your goals. When every dollar and moment is spent to fulfill an organization’s mission — whether that mission is making a profit or making the world a better place — success is more likely.

Most companies either move too fast to see what is happening — where they are veering off-course, where an opportunity exists — or passively react to changes rather than creating change.

Define your company’s true mission. Learn to have a clear vision without limiting your organization to its present resources, services, or products.

This webinar will help you clarify what you company stands for, what its non-negotiable, bedrock values are. Once you know who you are, you can create priorities, organize them, and achieve them … and attract customers, investors, donors, partners, and employees to your business.

This free management training webinar will teach you how to make each dollar and minute count.

Strategic Planning: Building Your Roadmap for the Future

Ventureneer — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:24:32 +0000

Strategic planning is a necessity these days. A strategic plan is the road map that defines where your organization is going — its mission — and how it will get there using measurable goals, strategies, objectives, and a 12-month work plan.

Stakeholders want to see your map before signing on for the journey.

Funders want to review strategic plan to see how funds will be used; board members want to see the plan before they agree to serve; and staff want to know the focus and deliverables that the organization expects of them.

Good strategic planning is a process that gives all those vested in the organization an opportunity to provide input and comment. It includes:
reviewing trends and opportunities,
gathering information on best practices,
identifying your organization’s strengths and weaknesses.

Writing a strategic plan usually involves a board retreat as well as staff input. It certainly requires the leadership of someone familiar with the process and with the organization. The planning process for every organization is unique; it must be fit your organizational culture and board expectations.

Use the information in this nonprofit online seminar to lead your organization through the strategic plan process.
