Chicago, IL (PRWEB) December 03, 2013 -- McGladrey LLP’s annual series of Nonprofit Summits – day-long events focused on the unique accounting, tax and operational needs of nonprofit organizations – will feature a presentation titled “Strategic Planning from the Inside Out: New Approaches, Better Results,” by Juan Pablo Gonzalez, partner, Axiom Consulting Partners.

Inside-out strategic planning helps narrow the alternatives and facilitates conscious decision-making so that nonprofits can focus on the things that matter the most. -- Juan Pablo Gonzalez, Axiom Consulting Partners

McGladrey, the nation’s leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market, will hold Summits Dec. 4 in Philadelphia; Dec. 10 in New York City and subsequently in Boston, Worcester MA, Orlando, Baltimore, Raleigh and Washington, D.C. Attendees will include executive directors, CEOs, CFOs at leading nonprofit organizations.

“When it comes to strategic planning, nonprofits and commercial organizations are different in how they measure success and how they are governed,” says Gonzalez.

“The goal of nonprofits should be to align the organization’s people and other resources with its mission and vision. In nonprofits, with multiple constituencies and larger boards of directors, there is often an overabundance of good ideas and a lack of resources to execute them all. Inside-out strategic planning helps narrow the alternatives and facilitates conscious decision-making so that nonprofits can focus on the things that matter the most.”

For example, Gonzalez points to one association whose board thought that advocating on behalf of its profession should be the organization’s top priority. During an inside-out strategic planning process, they discovered that members-at-large were primarily interested in sharing knowledge and networking. Understanding and resolving those differences helped the association execute the strategies that were most important in keeping a strong base of members while communicating the importance of advocacy to the organization’s longer-term relevance.

Gonzalez says that inside-out strategic planning for nonprofits begins with assessing the needs and concerns of constituents and focusing operational and financial analyses on the drivers of mission attainment. From there, the organization can develop and clarity alternative courses of action and evaluate the impact of those choices – on staff, finances, members and other stakeholders. That strategic planning will enable nonprofits to prioritize.

“Grounding the strategic planning process in facts, being rigorous in your analysis and being realistic about what is actually actionable are critical,” Gonzalez says. He poses seven questions that can help determine if the planning process is successful:

1. Is your strategy distinctive, clear and easy to understand?
2. Is it compelling to current and potential members and stakeholders?
3. Has a shared, fact-based understanding of the organization and its environment been established?
4. Have all constituents been appropriately engaged in the process?
5. Have alternatives and their implications been carefully assessed?
6. Has the data, analyses and evaluation of alternatives been documented?
7. Have both actionable next steps and success measures been developed?

“Healthcare providers, colleges and universities, associations and charitable organizations provide a world of good,” Gonzalez says. “In our experience, inside-out strategic planning is the best way to ensure that they fulfill their mission.”
