What to Do When Your Strategic Plan is Blown to Hell: Crisis Planning
Virtual Workshop - Wednesday, October 21, 2020
Many organizations have disaster plans that address fire, flood, or break-ins. But few strategic plans contemplate the type of disaster wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic or dramatic social upheaval. This workshop will address how to survive profound disruption, and cover topics from triaging operations and layoffs, new models of delivering programs, internal morale and well-being, nonprofit mergers and dissolution, and thoughts about future strategic planning. Participants will be engaged prior to the workshop to solicit situations to elaborate.
