Transforming Nonprofit Strategy: Fostering a Culture of Strategic Thinking.

Many nonprofits spend an inordinate amount of time developing a strategic plan that sits on a shelf and never gets implemented. In this course, you will learn why these plans don't get implemented and why you need to focus more on strategic thinking instead of strategic planning.
You will learn how to encourage your board and your staff to think strategically and work together as a team of strategic thinkers.
