Growth
With a growth plan, you put your organization on the path to success, notwithstanding how the markets change. You’ll use your past experiences to guide your future efforts, helping your organization grow faster.
Usually, a growth plan lasts a maximum of one year, but it can even cover less than a year. It is split into 90-day periods, during which you use a variety of tactics to engage your audience and otherwise provide value to customers to grow revenue. After each 90-day period, you apply everything you have learned to your strategy for the next 90 days. You’ll also consider how you may need to adapt to new market conditions.
You can also think of a growth plan as being the Go-to-Market part of your plan but expanded into greater detail. However, a growth plan is dynamic — unlike a strategic plan, which tends to be static.
There are 1.7 million nonprofits in the U.S. This makes competing hard enough and the challenge is compounded by limited resources along with a lack of understanding of what a growth planner should even look like. Just thinking about growth can be difficult, and deciding on growth plan goals often feels like an impossible task.
How Does a Growth Plan Differ from a Strategic Plan?
Strategic plans outline Organization activities over a much longer timeframe — usually between three and five years. In addition, a strategic plan has a different purpose to a growth plan: rather than looking at how your organization will operate day to day, it describes your overall vision and lays out long-term steps to reach your goals.
As the two are completely different, it is essential to have a growth plan in addition to your strategic plan. Your growth plan will explain where you are now, where you want to be, and how you’ll reach that point. Unlike a strategic plan, it will focus on rapid growth by allowing you to adapt almost immediately, according to what works. Only with a growth plan can you avoid the disruptions that impact revenue.
