LONG-TERM PLANNING GUIDES DAILY DECISIONS

We at The Roberts Group believe strongly in the importance of strategic planning for non-profit boards of directors. We take each of our clients through a strategic planning process every three or four years. Strategic planning for The Roberts Group typically includes production of a mission statement, strategies and critical objectives. We use the results of strategic planning to guide our activities, including budgeting, staffing and program priorities. We have extensive strategic planning experience internally and will often bring in outside facilitators for specialized expertise.

We have found that it is easy to do a strategic plan, but it is hard to keep it in the forefront of your thinking as unanticipated issues and problems develop. A good strategic plan is broad enough and flexible enough to set a
pathway that can accommodate these unanticipated developments. In fact, we find the best way to deal with unanticipated developments is to have a broad strategic plan that gives a pathway forward through unfamiliar territory.
