2 Cohort 32 2 Course Description This course is a study of the planning and analysis of nonprofit organizations using the strategic planning process as a means of assessing the past and future, and developing action strategies. The study of efficiency and effectiveness best practices is also undertaken. Core Competencies The nonprofit program intentionally partners with students to build competency in thirty crucial skills. This Strategic Management course targets competency in eight of those skills competencies one to five are major competencies; numbers six to eight are minor competencies of the course.

Casts organizational vision and inspires commitment to the vision. 4. Embraces change. 5. Aims for excellence. 6. Aligns organizational culture with organizational mission. 7. Builds a culture of teamwork. 8. Thinks critically. All courses in the program, including Strategic Management, build the following six competencies. so that each student: 1. Presents persuasively and professionally. 2. Breeds equality and compassion into professional interactions. 3. Comprehends and connects the big picture and the details. 4. Applies faith within the work place and life. 5. Connects faith, reason and justice. 6. Integrates ethics in professional and personal practice. Course Objectives By the end of this course, you will be able to: Develop a framework of a strategic plan for a specific nonprofit organization. Apply the concepts of strategic thinking and best practices to the overall management of a specific organization. Identify an organization s strategic issues and formulate appropriate goals and objectives to resolve those issues.
3 Cohort 32 3 Lead an effective strategic planning process. Recognize the advantages or disadvantages for specific organizations of several approaches to strategic management. Integrate strategic thinking and management principles into your role as a Christian leader. Course Overview The purpose of this course is to prepare Christian leaders to plan, initiate, and manage intentional and systematic change in their organization or church and to develop capacities and tools for comprehensive strategic analysis. Focusing on the classic strategic plan format but also utilizing other approaches, this course will establish a framework for overall strategic management, so that an organization can better achieve its mission. Strategic planning will be presented as a process of looking both internally and externally, setting measurable outcomes to be achieved, and implementing new or continued strategic actions, all of which are appropriate to a specific context. Course work will be done in two sections. Section One: The first residency of the nonprofit management program will focus on strategic planning as a tool for strategic management. Section Two: The course will finish during the tenth residency, when approaches to strategic management alternatives to the formal plan will be discussed, and knowledge gained throughout the program will be utilized to understand strategic management as a short-hand term for an effective and efficient organization. Biblical Framework and Integration As we examine various organization development, change, and strategic planning models and concepts, we will continually be integrating biblical concepts into our thinking and discussion. We should also be asking how our attitudes toward these models and concepts affect our well being and relationship with God. This tension between the secular and the Christian is a healthy one that should cause us to be reasonably disturbed as we seek to serve the Lord in this work. Many scriptural teachings or examples exhort us to plan our work. The book of Nehemiah is full of strategic plans. Habakkuk 2:2-3 reads, The Lord replied: Write the vision. Make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. For the vision awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will surely come and will not delay. In Luke 14, Jesus tells us to count the cost. At the same time, as Christians we want to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit into unanticipated places. This tension between careful planning and openness to the new and unexpected is also a healthy one. Course Methodology The course is designed in the blended model of instruction. There is both a classroom component and a distance component to the course. The classroom component (Part Two) totals 20 hours of seat time divided between two residencies at the beginning and end of the program consisting of lecturettes, discussions, presentations, and exercises. The distance component consists of Part One and Part Three assignments during which you will be preparing for the course and later,
4 Cohort 32 4 interacting with the instructor and with the other students in threaded discussions through Eastern University s electronic classroom system ( as well as facilitating a planning process and writing a formal strategic plan. The instructor presumes that students are working in, or have some experience with, nonprofit organizations. The course is designed to be a catalyst for critical discussion of nonprofits, resulting in constructive improvements of the organizations in which students are involved. The presumption is that students and faculty will learn from one another, and that open discussion will be honored by confidentiality.
