The best strategic plan is the one that you use

Forget the textbook perfect plan – we focus on building a plan that you will use. A plan that gets everyone on the same page, that keeps your eye on the big ideas, and that lets you flex and make good decisions over time.

We are always on the lookout for better ways to create better plans and that’s why we’re excited to share that Clarity is now partnering with StratSimple, a strategic planning platform built for nonprofits.

StratSimple Logotype
 

Our planning process itself remains consistent – we work with your team to listen and identify current strengths and challenges that support informed decisions. We iteratively facilitate your team discussions, sometimes with inconvenient questions. With your expertise, we help define success and establish adaptable timelines. Our partnership with StratSimple brings forward two new capabilities to help us support you even better:

1)      Listening to more voices

Interactive community listening surveys let us efficiently gather input from the people you serve your staff, and board. StratSimple’s tool asks follow-up questions as part of the survey process to clarify vague answers so we can get interview-like insights at survey-like scale.

2)      Keeping the plan alive

Once your plan is in place, your team can track goals and progress in one place, and StratSimple automatically generates reports for staff and board meetings. Your plan becomes a living tool that adapts as your environment changes, rather than a static document that sits on a shelf.

This partnership doesn’t change how we work with you. We will keep being here to facilitate your planning process and walk alongside your team and board. StratSimple simply gives us another option to help you listen, plan, and follow through.

If your organization is looking ahead to a new strategic plan or has a plan that could use better traction, we’d love to talk.
