Why strategic planning has a tremendous ROI: Helps to ensure that your plan is executed Keeps the team engaged and aligned in the planning process Elevates the importance of strategic planning overall for the organization Shows clear(er) history of what you've decided/tried and what worked/didn't Saves you time and political capital by reminding people about work to be done Is a break for the day-to-day project management software II. Advice with selecting strategic planning (or really any software) Be honest with yourself about what sort of power you need, want, and can afford Ask yourself whether it's useful to only have a limited set of people able to access (most software is price per-user) Ensure the platform you choose works the way you want Ensure the platform you choose is designed for your size of organization Be on the lookout for other support and resources that provide your team value We welcome support of the Nonprofit SnapCast via Patreon.

Mickey speaks with Cindy Schipani, Merwin H. Waterman Collegiate Professor of Business Administration & Professor of Business Law at the University of Michigan. We talk about insider charitable giving, a "worryingly widespread" practice that is quite harmful. "Increasing civil and criminal penalties does not work as a successful deterrent if there is substantial ambiguity about what is illegal insider trading," says Schipani. "This ambiguity allows insiders to not only trade successfully but also to fend off attempts by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Justice Department to discipline them after the fact." Our conversation covers the things nonprofits should be aware of when processing gifts of stocks and securities. We welcome support of the Nonprofit SnapCast via Patreon.
