A call to do strategy differently, bridging the gap between aspiration and reality.
Strategy in the nonprofit and fundraising sectors is fundamentally broken. Too often, strategies are created in silos, lack clear alignment between organisational and fundraising goals, and are so abstract they fail to translate into actionable plans.
This masterclass will equip you and your organisation with practical tools, methodologies, and approaches that are deeply aligned with your mission and built to drive real-world impact. Working through a test-case charity to model how strategy can evolve from theoretical frameworks into realistic, executable plans, the session will tackle every element of strategic transformation. Using methodologies like strategy maps, balanced scorecards, and scenario planning, you’ll be guided through designing strategies that connect organisational vision to fundraising action, while ensuring adaptability in a rapidly changing world.
Join us to explore how to challenge entrenched assumptions, shift power dynamics within your teams, and focus your resources on what matters most. Through interactive discussions, you’ll learn how to make hard trade-offs; foster collaboration between fundraising and programme teams; and create strategies that aren’t just ambitious, but achievable. And, because culture isn’t just a background factor, but the engine that drives strategy forward, the session will also help you integrate cultural dynamics into your strategic process.
