The Nonprofit Strategy Revolution: Real-Time Strategic Planning in a Rapid-Response World
by David La Piana
$7.95
The world changes continuously and rapidly. It’s foolhardy to believe that strategies should not do so as well. Nonprofit leaders already know this, but traditional strategic planning has locked them into a process that’s divorced from today’s reality. That’s why plans sit on the shelf and why smart executives are always seeking workarounds in between planning periods.
