How Master Planning is Transformational

Done right, Master Planning can align and inspire boards and staff, cut across silos and turn Societies into member- and service-focused organizations.

Master Planning transforms organizations by:

  • Improving existing processes and transforming the organizations without imposing traumatic change
  • Integrating operational planning and associated activities with strategic planning to significantly improve ROI from the time and money currently spent
  • Clarifying roles, helping the Board to lead and staff to manage and do
  • Aligning the organization with critical priorities
  • Motivating and managing through a system of measures for all efforts at all levels.

The goal is to build an organization that can do its own continuous, collaborative planning without reliance on consultants or other outside intervention. Click to view the Ten Tips for Highly Effective Transformation.
