Today’s nonprofit leaders are deeply challenged by an array of complex, changing, and urgent pressures that demand faster and smarter decisions than ever before. Success cannot be driven or measured by long-term, detailed plans. Instead, the continually changing conditions faced by nonprofits mean strategic paths and options must be considered every day. Financial sustainability and programmatic sustainability go hand in hand as key components of a strategic approach.

CompassPoint’s strategy courses guide staff and board members to understand financial and programmatic sustainability and provide tools to make and monitor organizational decisions. Our new Nonprofit Sustainability Practicum is an interactive workshop based on our recently published book, Nonprofit Sustainability: Making Decisions for Financial Viability. Participants use the book’s Matrix Map framework to map their business model, identify how to adjust their model, identify income strategies, and make important organizational decisions. Because strategy without monitoring is rarely executed, our Annual Planning course offers participants ways to set and monitor annual goals. Our popular course, How to Build an Organizational Dashboard, engages staff and board in setting and tracking organizational performance.

CompassPoint’s strategy faculty includes CEO Jeanne Bell and Senior Project Directors Marla Cornelius and Liz Callahan.
