We’re kicking off our 5-Step Strategic Planning for Impact journey this month, and Step One: Defining the Problem is now live in the classroom.
This week’s focus is on finding the problem your nonprofit aims to solve — the essential first step in any powerful, people-centered strategy. There’s a short video tutorial waiting for you that walks through how to use the ChatGPT prompt to clarify how you currently define the problem your organization exists to address.
Here’s the key: AI will not give you the answers, you already have them. It’s simply a tool to help you refine and clarify what you know, making the process faster, smoother, and easier to navigate.
For real success, make this a collaborative process. Bring in your board, staff, or members of the community you serve. I also recommend forming a small strategic planning committee to keep you moving through each step with intention and consistency.
Your action step this week:
✅ Watch the Step 1 tutorial
