Nonprofit leaders are navigating compounding pressures: volatile funding, rising demand for services, shifting policy conditions, workforce strain, and rapid technological change. In this environment, a plan built around a single view of the future may quickly become outdated. Yet responding to each new challenge as it arises can pull an organization away from its mission and stretch already-limited capacity.

How can leaders protect what matters most while remaining open to new opportunities and ways of working?

Tune into this on-demand webinar to explore adaptive planning—a focused, practical complement to traditional strategic planning. You’ll learn how to align your leadership team around a two-year vision, identify the priorities most critical to your intended impact, and develop an action plan that accounts for uncertainty. We also discuss how leaders can anticipate risks, make difficult trade-offs, and create a regular cadence for learning and adjustment as conditions change.

Viewers will:

- Learn about “adaptive planning” —a complement to “traditional” strategic planning

- Understand how to define a set of priorities aligned with your organization’s 2-year vision

- Think through how to take action, accounting for the potential hurdles you may face

This webinar is presented by Bridgespan Partner Lindsey Waldron and features Maqsoda Maqsodi, President and CEO of Winrock International, and John Valverde, President and CEO of YouthBuild Global. Together, who share practical perspectives on leading with focus and flexibility through periods of significant change.
