I love the research phase of strategic planning. It's what makes a plan truly strategic. Strategic planning research offers an opportunity to connect with your stakeholders in a unique and meaningful way. By seeking their feedback on your organization's impact and future direction, you're sustaining your mission while also fostering relationships. Strategic planning research also provides an occasion to thoroughly examine your external environment, which isn't always possible during hectic day-to-day activity. So, during your next planning cycle, go all in and embrace the research, for it's an important part of the foundation that will guide strategic thinking throughout the process. #StrategicPlanning #Nonprofit #NonprofitLeadership #Research

Enhancing Nonprofit Board Governance: Strategies for Success Effective board governance is crucial for the success of any nonprofit. It ensures not only compliance and oversight but also strategic guidance that aligns with the organization’s goals and mission. Enhancing board effectiveness begins with comprehensive assessments that help identify areas of strength and those needing improvement. Training is another critical component. Tailored training programs can equip board members with the necessary skills and knowledge to fulfill their roles effectively. This includes understanding fiduciary duties, strategic planning, and fundraising responsibilities. Additionally, strategic engagement of the board in key activities can help harness their skills and networks, increasing the organization's impact. Recruiting diverse board members is essential to broaden perspectives and drive innovative solutions. Diversity in the boardroom ensures a range of viewpoints and experiences, enriching decision-making processes and enhancing the organization’s relevance in diverse communities. Consulting services play a pivotal role in this transformation. They offer expertise and external perspectives that can be vital in refining board recruitment strategies, improving board dynamics, and updating governance practices to meet current challenges. At the Ziebarth Center for Innovation, our goal is to transform your board into a dynamic, effective team that propels your mission forward. Ready to strengthen your board governance?

Personalized is the way to go. AI.... it has its place... but it does not replace deep meaningful personal connections between real people. A deeper level of connection means having people partner with you to a greater extent. When you truly get to know the people who give (anything) to your organization (time, insights and wisdom, items, or money), you'll find out what they have in abundance - that they would like to share. Instead of starting with sharing your story...listen to theirs.

A while back, I posted this photo of my morning reading, and promised Dr. Kurt Senske a review of The CEO and the Board: The Art of Nonprofit Governance as a Competitive Advantage. Here it is: in brief, I think every nonprofit CEO/ED, and everyone who serves on a board, should read this. He packs a ton of wisdom into this slim and easily digestible volume, a series of brief essays on topics like "The Art of Strategic Planning," "The Art of Change Management," and "The Art of Measuring and Compensating the CEO for Success." No two nonprofits are alike, and no two boards are alike. This book is not a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approach to governance. Instead he taps into the wisdom he's earned over decades as both a CEO and a board member and board chair for a variety of organizations to guide readers through just about any situation that a CEO and board might face together. It's a quick read, and it could make a real difference in how you approach the board/CEO relationship -- and, in turn, how effectively your organization achieves its mission. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Kurt! #governance #leadership #nonprofits
