You’ve likely heard the old saying before: “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” And while that little phrase may make a for a great motivational poster, developing a usable, practical plan can, in reality, can be a difficult and overwhelming process for businesses and nonprofits who don’t always have the time or resources to plan strategically. 

That’s why we turned to Dr. Carol Poore, a strategic planning expert, in this episode of Financial Cents. As the president of Poore & Associates Strategic Planning and the author of “Strategic Impact: A Leader’s Three-Step Framework for the Customized Vital Strategic Plan”, she’s more than qualified to help us understand how small businesses and nonprofits can turn strategic planning into actionable, measurable goals that can take the organization to the next level.
