Setting the stage for negotiations that include saying 'no' to damaging alliances, non-core services, and funding sources
Establishing strategic business structures to guide key decisions and assess core services

What Participants are Saying about this Training

"I do not normally rate trainings high: Nanita did an excellent job with a complex topic in a challenging climate/arena by using a real example and referring back to it throughout the day. Her use of challenging scenarios to address through a participatory process was very helpful. Prompting participants to take action, with the offer to follow up with her was terrific!"

"I am in the process of developing a strategic plan for our organization, so this workshop was very helpful. The “elephant in the room” look at finances was very enlightening and is information that I will be passing on to our board."
