Description:

Integrated planning offers a total planning framework, with elements differentiated by purpose, participation and processes. It facilitates coordinated strategic thinking, improved operations and management, and more effective board oversight. This webinar will clarify roles and methods of strategic, program and business planning, and their relationship to other planning needs: board development, identity and branding, advancement planning, technology planning and facility strategy.

Part of the Wednesday Webinar series for nonprofit staff and board development. Offering strategy, planning, organizational development, branding, marketing, executive search, finance, fundraising, operations, and more.
