Is your EDO’s strategic plan a short-term to-do list? Or just a vague vision that leaves employees with more questions? In this episode, Alex Dadok and I discuss why having the courage to question assumptions – and take real action – is the key to community transformation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why most EDOs use strategic plans wrong (and how to turn them into actual tools for progress)
  • How to create space for thinking ahead while balancing day-to-day operations
  • The reasons your organization might be stuck in planning mode (and it might surprise you!)
