Designing Foundations for Organizations
Creating Practical Structure for Moving Forward With Your Dream: For start-up organizations or existing ones
Do you have a vision for a ministry?
Does your organization have a strong foundation for maximum impact?
This course provides the big picture of what a strong foundation looks like – it’s components, how each component looks and works best in your organization, and what makes each component strong or weak. It also provides tools and resources to assess and answer the following:
- Is your organization’s foundation missing an essential component?
- Are there one or more weak components in your foundation?
- How do I fix a weak component to make it strong?
Course Topics:
- Mission & Vision statements
- Leadership team
- Operating structure
- Strategic Planning– work plan
- Budget
- Communications & promotion
- Programs & services
The Skills You Will Learn:
- Evaluation of your Organization—Find out how strong your organization’s foundation is in each area.
- Gain Knowledge and Tools—Become equipped with the proper understanding, tools, and resources to produce change toward a strong and healthy organization for maximum realization of potential.
- Strategic thinking—Define your starting point, (a correct picture of where you are now), and have a clear mission and vision for what your organization is and what it will accomplish. From this framework, a systematic approach for setting short and long term goals will provide the pathway for making your vision a reality.
