Facilitated Strategy Session

Project details

What we need
  • Expert third party advice on process or managerial changes, geographic or programmatic expansion, potential pivots, or general strategic planning
  • Facilitation of an intensive, one-day strategic planning session with staff and/or Board
  • Note: If necessary, a follow-up strategic planning session may be scheduled
Additional details

Island Green has been a nonprift on St. John for 17 years and until 2 years ago operated with only volunteers. We have several programs and lots of ideas of initiatives we'd like to tackle but cannot do it all. We lack organization and focus from the board. We are growing and need help organizing a strategic planning process so we can move forward with a clear path on what grants to go after,what programs to continue, what new initiatives we can tackle, etc.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a website with mission and values documents, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have financial records, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,240 , allowing us to expand our recycling efforts on the island.

Island Green is at a crossroads with programs running but some not generating revenue and the desire to take on more. The organization has never had a stategic plan and as the ED I feel this is essential to our forward progress. We need a clear vision of where our resources and energy will go over the next 3-5 years. I feel having an outside, impartial party guide us through this process will get us to our goal faster than our own efforts have proved.
