Achieving Strategic Clarity

Get clear on your impact goals and make organizational decisions with confidence

Grounded in Bridgespan’s experience of working with hundreds of nonprofits in India and across the globe, the Achieving Strategic Clarity module is designed to help nonprofit and social enterprise leadership teams discover what they do best, which communities to prioritise, and what activities will lead to the greatest impact.

Through the course of the program, Bridgespan will support participant teams as they frame their intended impact and theory of change through coaching, toolkits, case examples, and more.

This program is for organisations based in India. If you are based in another country, please explore our Leadership Accelerator program.


Program Benefits for Nonprofits and Social Enterprises

Through the program, your organisation can become more effective, efficient, and deliver additional impact, aided by:

  • Clarity on organisation strengths and capabilities
  • Alignment among the leadership team on strategic direction
  • Cross-sector peer learning

At the end of the three-month period, leadership teams are expected to develop:

  • A working document clarifying which communities you aim to work with and the impact you wish to have
  • A living document that specifies how your organisation will achieve its impact
  • A set of critical questions and next steps to further refine your drafts and use them for future decision-making

The Achieving Strategic Clarity program is meant for leadership teams of nonprofits and social enterprises. This program may be the right for your organisation if you:

  • Would like to achieve more impact through a clearly thought-out strategy
  • Need to more clearly communicate your work to external stakeholders
  • Feel your current strategy needs to be updated to better reflect future ambitions
  • Have had significant leadership changes recently and aim to create a shared team vision
