You know the quote, "If you don't know where you're going any road will get you there." That's from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. As a leader of a nonprofit or faith-based organization the last place you want to end up is falling uncontrollably down the rabbit hole.

Wise entrepreneurs know where they want to go and should be planning a way to get there. That is the purpose of a Strategic Planning Session. The goals of the planning session are not merely to make a strategic plan but for you and your team members to have the ability to make swift and clear decisions to new opportunities and/or challenges with a solid understanding of the company’s business, its strategy, and the assumptions behind that strategy.
