Strategic planning is an essential component of any effective organization or community effort. For collective impact work, its importance is even more elevated, so that all the different organizations and individuals working in a variety of sectors in a multitude of ways can align their efforts, measure impact, make necessary adjustments, and ultimately create better outcomes.
We are currently developing a strategic plan to drive our partnership’s next three years of work. Our target timeline for approval of the final strategic plan is June 2019 with adoption in January of 2020.
The graphic “Strategic Planning: Our Process” provides a glimpse into our journey to ensure our strategic plan is stakeholder-informed, responsive to our community’s needs, and effective in directing and measuring our efforts.
