Strategy and Business Plan Development
A strategic plan for a not-for profits is a document that outlines the mission, vision, goals, and objectives of the organisation for the longer term (3 years minimum). Done well it will help the organisation to stay focused on its purpose and have a lasting impact on its beneficiaries. The strategic plan will also help the organisation to allocate its resources effectively and prioritise its actions. Therefore, the Strategic planning is an important process for trustees or directors to ensure the success and sustainability of their organisation.
A business plan (delivery plan) outlines how the organisation will deliver its strategy i.e. operational and financial aspects of the organisations work to its beneficiaries over the coming year and beyond. It is recommended this is reviewed annually by the trustees to ensure the charities work is focused on delivering the long-term strategy.
