▶️ Join us for Strategic Plan Implementation on September 9 ▶️

Good strategic plans don’t just live on a shelf. They live through effective operational planning and ground-level decisions about programming, finances, hiring, and more.

In this workshop, we will explore the different ways that strategic plans are converted into actions and decisions. This may involve structural changes, leadership support, community engagement, resource allocation, and capacity building. It may also involve operational planning and embedding values into organizational processes and policies.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:​
✅Identify potential changes to structure, capacity, and communications that will support implementation.
✅Describe the purpose and development of a “strategy filter”
✅Identify ways to embed organizational values in processes and policies.
✅Describe types of key performance indicators and other measures of success.
✅Describe different types of operational plans and how they can be developed and monitored.

Collaboration doesn’t always look big.

Sometimes it’s a quick call, a shared resource, or a quiet “want to try this together?” that changes everything.

In this coffee chat, JP Baker and Gretchen Ferguson unpack what collaboration really looks like across BC’s non-profit sector—where it shines, where it’s messy, and why it matters more than ever.

They share real stories of partnerships, learning, and trust in action—and how those same ideas inspired the Collaboration Lab: Bridging People, Organizations, and Sectors.

Because when we connect, experiment, and share what we have—

"More becomes possible than any one of us could do alone."
