Planning in Uncertain Times: a Scenario Planning webinar

In this moment of economic, political and social uncertainty, many organizations are experiencing disruption to long-held plans, community partnerships, and operating models. The pace of change requires more than short-term responses. It calls for thoughtful, forward-looking planning rooted in community, equity and resilience.

Join Sandi McKinley, founder of SectorWind for a 90 minute virtual session that introduces the key concepts, purpose and benefits of scenario planning, equipping nonprofit leaders with a foundational understanding of scenario planning, and frameworks for futher exploration.

After participating in this virtual session, you will:

  • understand the value of scenario planning for navigating uncertainty
  • identify critical uncertainties relevant to the nonprofit sector
  • experience a scenario planning mini-exercise that can be adapted within your own organization.
