Building A Strategy that Delivers Meaningful Impact

​Most organizations start the year with a solid impact plan and real commitment behind it. By the fall, the time, people and budget needed to deliver that plan have rarely materialized, and the leaders responsible for it are carrying the work on top of roles that were already full. At this point in the year, many of them are questioning whether the work is moving anything at all.

​The cause is rarely a lack of commitment. In most organizations growth and impact run on two separate tracks, with separate plans, separate owners and separate measures of success. The results of the impact work stay invisible to leadership, teams get pulled between competing priorities, and the impact plan is the first to lose time and budget whenever priorities shift.

​This 60-minute session walks through how to bring growth and impact into a single strategy, so that the 2027 plan has the resourcing, visibility and leadership support to deliver both, and the same problem does not repeat next year.

What the session covers

• ​How to connect impact goals directly to growth goals, so impact work stops losing out in resourcing decisions.

• ​How to make the results of impact work visible to leadership and the wider team.

• ​How to bring a team behind one set of goals instead of competing ones.

• ​What belongs in a 2027 plan, and what can be set aside.

​Who should attend

​Impact leads, executives and founders of mission-driven organizations whose impact plans stalled this year behind other priorities, and who want a different result in 2027.
