  2. Why is Strategic Planning Important? “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.” Yogi Berra

  3. Strategic planning is an attempt to answer four basic questions: • Where are we now? • Where do we want to be? • How big is the gap? • What will it take to get there in terms of time and resources?

  4. Which Process is best for your foundation?

  5. How many eggs can a chicken lay in a day? • How many things can you accomplish in one strategic planning session? • What if everyone can’t attend?

  6. Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket • Strategic planning should occur year round. • It should be performance based with measureable objectives. • It can help you to recognize and energize your board.

  7. Reasons to Change Strategic Planning Paradigm • Your board is made up of volunteers, not employees. • Your members don’t necessarily all know each other well. • External forces can change at a rapid rate. • Opportunities can be fleeting. • Energy and commitment of individuals can vary over time.

  8. Would you go on a wilderness camping trip without knowing: • the destination or location? • the length of the trip? • the terrain, weather, time of year? • the other members of the camping group? • the talents, background, experience and trustworthiness of the other campers? • the provisions of food and equipment?

  9. A Crack in the Egg: Single Session Planning Pitfalls • Your board is made up of three laying chickens. • Your strategic planning resulted in a performance goal of producing one dozen eggs a day. • What now? • This happens a lot.
