A Strategy Alignment & Activation Lab for Nonprofit Leaders

Join us in person for an engaging session where you'll dive into activating your strategic plan!


The Strategic Plan Activation Lab is a one-day, hands-on working session designed for nonprofit executive teams and senior leaders who want to ensure their implementation remains aligned with their strategic intent over time.

Strategic plans are created at a moment in time. Implementation unfolds in a dynamic environment shaped by change, pressure, and competing priorities. As that gap widens, even strong plans can lose clarity and focus. This lab creates space for leaders to pause, reflect, and fine-tune execution so it continues to support where the organization wants to go.

The lab uses a Strategy Alignment & Activation approach — helping leaders translate strategic intent into focused priorities, meaningful measures, and near-term action without rewriting the plan.


This session is designed to address the common drift that occurs between strategy and execution. Rather than starting over, participants recalibrate — clarifying what still matters, what needs adjustment, and how to strengthen follow-through.

What Participants Will Do
Participants will:

  • Translate their strategic plan into a small set of clear strategic choices

  • Identify what must stop to create capacity for what matters most

  • Define decision-grade measures that support learning and leadership decisions

  • Convert one strategic priority into focused 90-day execution priorities

  • Develop a practical cascade and conversation plan to align leaders, managers, and teams

  • Establish a realistic 30/60/90-day activation plan and operating rhythm

Learning Environment
The lab is intentionally small (approximately 8–10 participants) to support meaningful reflection and peer learning. Structured activities, templates, and clear confidentiality norms allow participants to share challenges at the pattern level while keeping the work practical and psychologically safe.

Who Should Attend
This workshop is designed for nonprofit executive directors, senior leaders, and members of leadership teams responsible for implementing strategy. Participants should bring their current strategic plan and be ready to work on real priorities.

Facilitators
The lab is co-facilitated by Karen Menard, CEO of Measured Strategies Inc., and Rachel Hofstetter, Principal of Rachel Hofstetter Consulting. Together, they bring deep experience in nonprofit strategy, facilitation, and organizational alignment.

Outcome
Participants leave with clarity, confidence, and concrete tools — ready to lead aligned conversations, strengthen execution, and increase the likelihood that their strategy delivers meaningful impact.
