Leading in Uncertain Times: Strategic & Scenario Planning for Nonprofit Leaders

Uncertainty is inevitable, but strategic action is a choice. Nonprofit leadership today requires navigating a world of constant change — shifting funding streams, political pressures, rising community needs and managing agile teams. Too often, this means pressure to operate in constant rapid-response mode, leaving little time to step back and plan with intention.

This interactive workshop will offer a practical real-time framework for strategic and scenario planning that helps you stay anchored in your mission and values, even when circumstances are uncertain. Together, we’ll explore:

• How to identify and fiercely protect your organization’s core work and values during times of uncertainty.
• Tools for mapping financial and programmatic scenarios—from best case to worst case—and planning clear responses.
• Strategies for aligning executive staff and board members so efforts are aligned to core values and priorities.
• Gain expert insight into leading through uncertainty and be equipped with scenario planning approaches and a template to focus you and your team's planning and strategic response.
