STRATEGIC PLANNING

This manual offers a framework for strategic planning with suggestions developed specifically for nonprofit organizations dedicated to AIDS advocacy and prevention. Those who already have experience with strategic planning will find this a useful refresher and “source book” of fundamental techniques. Those without such experience will find this to be a comprehensive tool and roadmap to use in building a strategic plan. This workbook defines what strategic planning is — and is not — and explains how to make the best use of the strategic planning process. When strategic planning works, it is both a creative and a participatory process that builds new insights into helping a group pursue its mission. It is also an important tool that, when used correctly, can help AIDS service organizations achieve their goals. But, a tool’s effectiveness ultimately depends on how well it is used. With this manual, we hope to help learners develop and execute well sound strategic plans that ensure the viability and success of their organizations.
