CHALLENGES YOU MAY FACE

Not-for-profit organisations face many challenges when it comes to ensuring best use of resource, results optimisation and future sustainability. This means that, more than ever before, charities, enterprises and other not-for-profits need a clear and effective organisational strategy. We believe that strategy should always be based upon sound research and analysis and should ensure that your organisation achieves its full potential.

OUR EXPERTISE

Action Planning has a proven track record of delivering bespoke, effective organisational strategy, for many organisations. Whether you are trying to better understand your position in the market place, working to achieve greater impact or aiming to make your organisation more outcome-focused, our expert staff will guide you through a tailor-made planning process.

GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR ORGANISATION USING OUR TAILORED APPROACH TO STRATEGY

- How do we decide on the best way of managing our resources to make the greatest difference?
- How do we move away from trying to do a bit more of what we did last year to having a clear and motivational vision and direction?
- How can we become an outcomes-focused organisation through our strategy and planning?
- What is our positioning within the sector and how does that affect what we do?
- What is the best way of engaging trustees and staff with the planning process, making sure that they understand how their work links directly to the organisational plan?

We facilitate a full organisational strategy planning process or support individual areas as required:
- Providing research and analysis to help you understand your external environment and stakeholders, and identify the key drivers influencing your plans
- Working with your strategy team to identify strategic objectives, key work-streams and targets
- Facilitating a visioning day to unite your team around core aspirations, identifying the major outcomes you want to achieve
- Identifying and addressing implications for leadership, marketing, finance and support functions
- Creating a monitoring and evaluation framework to track the plans

- A planning process that has engaged stakeholders and motivated staff
- A strategy that drives future direction, informed by research and providing a clear framework for decision making
- A plan which sets out clear organisational outcomes and a path to achieve them
- Monitoring, evaluating and reporting processes built into the plan

How We Have Supported Others

It was a challenge to deal with the many differing cultural perspectives around how our organisation should be led and developed into the future. Our Action Planning consultants helped us to build consensus, communicate the need for change and avoid countless pitfalls. I have no hesitation in recommending Action Planning.
