In the nonprofit world the terms "strategic plan" and "business plan" are frequently used interchangeably. While both are essential tools for guiding a nonprofit towards success, they serve different purposes and contain distinct elements. Understanding the differences between a strategic plan and a business plan can help ensure that each is used effectively to drive the organization’s growth. A business plan is a detailed document that outlines the fundamental aspects of a business. It serves as a roadmap for establishing and running the business, providing a comprehensive overview of its goals, strategies, and operational plans. A strategic plan, on the other hand, is a high-level document that outlines an organization's long-term vision and the strategies it will use to achieve its goals. It is less about the operational details and more about setting the direction for the business. Understanding these differences is crucial for nonprofit leaders. Both plans are vital, but they serve different purposes. By leveraging both a business plan and a strategic plan, organizations can ensure they are not only sustaining growth but also achieving long-term success.

Thank you Vincent B. Mastrovito, CEPA® CBEC® CVGA®. Spot on: assess that the next generation actually wants to take over; make sure they have the people, processes and cash to succeed; and sleep well at night knowing the business has the Strategic Capacity needed for delivering PREDICTABLE profits & growth (Dimensions 1 & 2 of Growth-Drive's methodology). Side note, a client might also consider consulting with a sophisticated insurance advisor about de-risking key aspects. Strategic Capacity drives growth. Terrific series of articles Vince. -George #exitplanning #growthdrive #valuegap #strategicplanning

In our work with leadership teams, EOS Implementers will reference teachings from some of the great books on leadership to deepen the understanding of concepts. "Good to Great" by Jim Collins is one that we cite frequently. For leadership teams looking to change their trajectory of success one thing is a requirement above all others. More than will power, attitude and commitment is the ability “to confront the brutal facts of their current reality and act on the implications.” It’s come to be known as the “Stockdale Paradox”. Identifying and accepting the brutal facts of your current reality and maintaining the faith that you will prevail in the end. The truth can set you free! How is your team doing at addressing the realities facing your organization? #entrepreneurship #leadership #management #EOSWorldwide

Government buyers seek to maintain, not disrupt. They are not early adopters. They are not incented to innovate. They're the tortoise, not the hare. 🐢🐇 If you're selling a novel product or service, you must educate the buyer on the concept BEFORE you can position yourself as the best provider. Just make sure the concept doesn't threaten the status quo attitude of local government. Your ability to sell your concept will make the difference between success and failure with state and local government buyers. 💡 Whitepaper: Think Like a #B2G Buyer 💡 Our whitepaper outlines four ways to shift your mindset, think like a B2G buyer, and win more government contracts.
