In today’s rapidly changing world, clinging to the traditional five-year strategic plan is not just outdated—it’s impractical. Organizations need to adapt quickly to survive, and a long-term plan often becomes a liability and burden rather than a guide and roadmap. Instead, a one-year nonprofit strategic plan, monitored monthly and updated annually, proves to be a far more effective and cost-efficient approach to planning.
Speaker: Dave Sackett

Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

Is there ever a reason to utilize “utilize” in writing? I’m gonna say No. Utilize is an almost-exact synonym of use. So use use instead.

The long word is just a needless long word.
