Strategic planning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming—or optional. In this kickoff episode, Pat and Will Scanland break down why every mission-driven organization needs a clear roadmap, how strategy keeps teams aligned, and what really happens when planning is ignored (spoiler: chaos). You’ll learn the four pillars of an effective strategic plan, the most common reasons plans fail, and real stories from organizations that turned things around with clarity and focus.
Whether you’re leading a nonprofit, running a social enterprise, or trying to bring order to the madness, this conversation will give you practical next steps you can use today.
