5 Things Every Nonprofit Needs To Do To Clarify Its Strategic Thinking

Are you feeling a bit confused by strategic thinking? You know it’s essential for your nonprofit, but how do you actually do it?

Here are five questions to should ask yourself to really sharpen your strategic thinking:

1. What Do You Want?

The most important thing to work out is where you want to be. Everything—goals, strategies, steps, should all be pointing to your desired destination.

What do you want to achieve this year, in five years, ten? What are your actual goals? What’s your vision? Get it all down on paper and think big!

2. Where Are You Starting From?

Do a survey of exactly where you are right now. What skills, resources, and assets do you have? What are your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks in your current job or business?

Are you satisfied with life the way it is, or do you want something more? What connections do you have? Map out your network and what value you provide to them, and what they offer you. Write up your self-inventory.

3. What Do You Have the Power to Change?

Think about what is in your control at the present moment. What can you streamline or eliminate? What do you need to add, enhance, or modify to reach your goals? This can include anything from training, networking opportunities, to investment advice or strategic career planning.

4. What Do You Need to Move Ahead?

Take another look at your self-inventory. What skills, resources, knowledge, and connections do you need to get closer to success? If this is difficult or overwhelming, consider finding a mentor or life coach who can help you find your way.

5. How Can I Reach My Goals and Still Enjoy Life?

Really going for growing a successful nonprofit shouldn’t make for a joyless life, totally focused on getting ahead. Make sure you take time to have fun and do the things that give you pleasure. Think of what "Future Successful You" enjoys doing. What makes your future worth striving for?
