Nonprofits that harness their missions as a strategic tool and create strong systems of operational excellence and accountability have a competitive advantage when it comes to funding, programming and innovative initiatives. When mission acts as a “strategy screen” and operational excellence is in place, a nonprofit has margin or breathing space to focus on what’s most critical. Although rarely discussed, true operational excellence is visionary. Find out why and how your nonprofit can deepen its commitment to strong internal operations and strategic thinking and the amazing outcomes that follow. In the new era of nonprofit operations during COVID-19, nonprofit survival depends on it.
