# Strategic planning for not-for-profits, board to frontline

**Short answer:** A not-for-profit strategic plan reaches the frontline when the board, the leadership team and program managers build it together, and staff are asked whether they can say it back. GetSorted runs a board workshop, two days with leaders and program managers, three pages, and 90 days of follow-through, at a fixed price boards and funders can file.

## How does it run?

| When | Step | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Before the two days | Board workshop [DEMO] | A half-day with the board to set direction and what success looks like for the people served |
| In the room | Two days with leaders | Leadership team and program managers agree three priorities and the behaviours behind them |
| Within five days | The plan on three pages | The board-approved plan, a frontline page, and a page per program manager |
| Day 90 | Report to the board [DEMO] | Recall across programs, with one outcome the board chooses |

## Does it fit a three-quote procurement process?

[DEMO] Yes. The proposal is fixed price, shows GST, lists inclusions and exclusions, and has no extras in the 90 days.

## Questions people ask

### We already have a strategic plan. Is this a second one?

No. GetSorted cuts the existing plan down to three priorities staff can hold, and the 90 days become its implementation.

### Is business language a problem for a community services team?

The work uses the organisation's own words: clients, participants, outcomes, programs.

### Can our funding cycle fit it?

[DEMO] Yes. The fee can be split across two financial years, and dates are planned around reporting deadlines.
