Strategy for Non-Profit Organizations

We hear a lot about for-profit companies, such as Apple Computer or Wal-Mart, and the successful strategies they have developed. Even though non-profit organizations are not concerned with profit maximization, they too can benefit from following a strategy.

A non-profit's strategy constitutes its decisions about what it will do and how it will do it. Managers are critical to successfully implementing strategy since they are responsible for carrying out the actions that will support it. By understanding a non-profit's strategy and how it helps the organization fulfill its mission, a manager can do a better job implementing the strategy.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

  • Define strategy
  • Explain the basics of strategy in a non-profit context
  • Describe the strategic planning process and how different approaches may be taken by different organizations
  • Discuss how mission statements are constructed
  • Explain how budgets and capital budgets interrelate with non-profit strategic planning
  • Describe the success factors for strategic planning
  • Recognize the need for contingency planning

This course is self-paced and online. You will have access to this course for 30 days. Upon successful completion, you will receive a Winchester Center for Management Development certificate of completion.
