Leaders often find themselves being consumed by the immediate demands of the day-to-day. Mission-centric priorities fade into the background, even though leadership is responsible for planning the organization’s future.
In a world that keeps changing, has your organization’s strategic plan kept pace?
A strategic plan created by your leadership team serves as a roadmap—focusing resources for growing mission impact. A clear plan provides guardrails, keeping leadership focused on what’s important most now so vision can become reality.
When leaders choose to guide direction, cultivate alignment, and steward the resources entrusted to them, the mission flourishes.
Strategy, Operations, and Finance are leadership’s core disciplines.
Strategy is our mission’s roadmap—the discipline and ongoing process of planning for the future today. It requires a shared commitment to focus the organization’s skills, time, and resources on growing mission impact. Unlike traditional static plans, today’s strategic planning process is organic When things change you change your plan.
Operations is the discipline of turning vision into action today. Effective operations align people, resources, systems, and processes toward the mission‑driven results your organization exists to achieve.
Finance is the stewardship of capital—ensuring every dollar is handled with integrity, supporting strategic initiatives, operational functions, and investments, while sustaining mission growth.
Since 2012, I’ve facilitated strategic plans created by mission-driven leadership teams to regain clarity, strengthen alignment and focus resources to grow mission.
What Strategic Planning Strengthens:
Team Alignment— moving together with clarity, purpose and shared direction—like branches growing toward light
Accountability— defining roles so every part of the tree contributes to healthy growth
Communication—ensuring information flows freely through the whole system—roots to canopy
The Board—cultivating oversight, support, and stability for a flourishing mission
If your organization is entering a new season, I’m glad to share a strategic planning process that can create clarity, alignment and results for the mission you’re cultivating.
To cultivating a fruitful mission,
Wes Legg
