In an environment of constant change, nonprofits that wait to “get ready” often find themselves reacting under pressure.

At the end of this session, you’ll be able to:

• Identify how scenario planning and the use of leading indicators can help nonprofits anticipate change and handle uncertainty
• Recall governance and strategic planning practices that enable nonprofits to adapt without disrupting core operations
• Discuss practical strategies to regularly refresh long-range plans, so they remain relevant, flexible, and aligned with the mission
