In order for the charitable organization to work successfully in such difficult times of war as now , it is needed for it Vision of the future.
VISION OF THE FUTURE is our idea of what our organization and/or the environment in which it operates will be in 4-10 years (depending on the strategic planning period). The future to which we are moving through strategy.
We are formulating an “internal” and/or “external” vision or put them together. That is, it can be a vision of the future state of the organization, a vision of the future state of that part of society or that environment for which and in which the organization operates.
Also, in formulating a vision, we can combine internal and external components.
Strategic planning and the presence of an Charity Foundation Democratic Society organization's strategy contribute to solving the following tasks:
- positioning the organization as a sustainable, self-aware, purposeful community that can imagine its future for the next 4-10 years (depending on the selected strategic planning period);
- systematization of experience, resources, opportunities, risks, other internal and external factors that can contribute to the development of the organization; - determination of the qualitative state and indicators that the organization seeks to achieve in the future through the implementation of the strategy;
- concentration of efforts of different people on the joint
achievement of the most important results in priority areas of development;
- attraction of external resources to implement the strategy and achieve the expected
results, including through partnerships
(donations, cooperation, coalitions, networking, etc.).
- the ability to more effectively and purposefully plan and implement
current activities, focusing on
development priorities, operational and strategic goals, planned indicators.
Vision of the future (vision), mission, values.
VISION AND MISSION are the meaning, ideological core of the organization's activities and the leitmotif for the further process of strategic planning, strategy implementation, monitoring and evaluation of results.
In addition to the vision and mission, the strategy includes values or key principles that guide the organization in the process of implementing the strategy. They complement and detail this component.
VALUES are the ethical foundations of the organization's activities, which it undertakes to follow and which its members, governing bodies and senior officials, volunteers should follow. Everyone who considers themselves to be part of the community.
Practical benefits of a timely approved action plan:
- start implementing the strategy immediately, without delaying or putting it on the shelf (this risk is very high!).
