Strategic planning

A clear pathway to your goals, with focused strategies, detailed action steps and accountability built in.

Overview

Plans that guide the work, not sit on a shelf.

NPH Consulting guides your leadership through an asset-focused assessment of where you stand, a shared vision of where you want to go, and a goal-based strategic plan to get there.

Beyond giving your organization a practical “GPS” for its goals and day-to-day work, the planning process itself can inspire and energize your team, your board and your community stakeholders.

Strategic plans now must function more agilely as a “GPS” rather than as a “roadmap.”

The rapid pace of change means organizations need continual assessment and transformation, not a plan that sits on a shelf.

How it works

Four steps, tailored to your organization.

01

Assess

An asset-focused look at your current strategic position: strengths, challenges, and the community assets you can build on.

02

Envision

Your leadership defines an aspirational strategic target, using visioning exercises that get everyone to the same picture.

03

Plan

Focused strategies and detailed action steps, with built-in accountability so the plan gets carried out.

04

Implement

Hands-on support as you put the plan into action and adjust as conditions change.
