Is your organization prepared to take strategic risks to advance its mission?
The landscape that nonprofit organizations operate within has changed dramatically over the past four years. Among the many lessons that we have learned is that a vital mission and dedicated staff are not enough to insulate organizations from risk.
Join us for this half-day training which covers fundamentals of strategic risk management, scenario planning, contingency mapping, role of the board in strategic risk management, and the importance of culture.
Strategic risk management requires thinking about a wide range of future possibilities and being willing to take risks for the good of those you serve in the face of an unknown future. These risks are not managed by rules and policies, but through approaches designed to assess and reduce the probability of negative impacts and leverage opportunities for positive outcomes.
Strategic risks include:
- Leveraging opportunities to advance your mission
- Operating without clearly defined strategic priorities
- Not examining assumptions underlying strategic decisions
- Not tailoring services based on current and future community needs
- Not attending to external trends and how they might affect your organization's operation or funding
