Introduction
In late 2012, Free Geek's board created a strategic planning committee (known as StratComm). The committee meets twice per month and is involved in a long-term discussion about Free Geek's future. Tentatively, the process will move forward in four stages, each roughly coinciding with a quarter of the year:
- Evaluation of the current situation at Free Geek (1st quarter)
- Visioning of the future of Free Geek, 3-5 years out (2nd quarter)
- Planning (3rd quarter)
- Execution of strategy (4th quarter)
Currently we are in the second phase and are holding discussions on Free Geek's vision of the future.
Free Geek Today: Assessing Free Geek's Current Situation
In order to assess Free Geek current situation StratComm used two initial tools: Sustainability Bubble Charts and a SWOT Analysis. More information on the individual tools and the final reports based on the data collected is below. After these reports were shared with Free Geek staff, a survey to collect their reflections, comments and ideas on the Bubble Charts and SWOT Analysis was sent out. A link to the survey results is below.
Assessment Tools
Assessment tools for our current situation:
Sustainability Bubble Charts
One tool we use helps us assess a dual bottom line. This tool lets us visually review our program activities by weighing both financial success and mission impact. The process is spelled out in the book Nonprofit Sustainability and uses a bubble chart to show cost, net income (or net loss), and mission impact.
The changes in the sucesses and impact over time was also charted.
SWOT
This classic tool helps us see our strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats side by side.
We also conducted a SWOT excersize at our first Town Hall Meeting
Free Geek Staff Survey
The board presented the collected data from the Sustainability Charts and the SWOT Analysis to Free Geek Staff who were surveyed for comments, ideas and refelctions on Free Geek's current situation.
Free Geek Tomorrow
During the Visioning phase of the strategic planning process the committee will be using the assessment tools to brainstorm and create a document articulating a vision of Free Geek's future.
To help in this process the committe is reviewing and incoporating data from the Volunteer Motivation Surevy and a summary of volunteer feedback from the Town Hall Meeting which was held during the Volunteer Appreciation Barbecue on August 17, 2012.
