SUMMARY:Assessing Your Organization's Strategy and Structure in a Changing Environment
DESCRIPTION:Nonprofit Seminar: Assessing Your Organization’s Strategy and Structure in a Changing Environment \nMost nonprofits today are running strategies and operating models that were designed for conditions that have already shifted… sometimes in obvious ways\, often more quietly. When the environment moves faster than the design\, the gap between intent and impact widens. Strategies stop guiding. Structures stop carrying the work. Effort goes up. Results don’t. \nThis seminar offers nonprofit leaders a practical\, high-level lens for assessing whether their current strategy and operating model are designed for each other\, and for the world they’re actually in. Through examples and patterns from across the sector\, we’ll look at what causes the drift\, where the gaps tend to open up first\, and what some nonprofits are starting to do differently in response. \nPractical\, not theoretical. Come away with a sharper read on your own organization and a clearer sense of what to pay attention to next. \nREGISTER\n  \nMAGNET | 1800 E 63rd St\, Cleveland OH 44103 \nSeptember 24\, 2026 8:30AM – 10:00AM \nRegistration begins at 8:00AM \nContinental Breakfast Provided \nMAGNET is across the street from Dave’s Marketplace. The building has a free parking lot accessible from Olive Ct. with additional street parking available as needed. \nMembers – $50 \nNonmembers – $100 \n  \nThank You\, Sponsors \n​​Gold \n \n​Silver \nBenesch\, Friedlander\, Coplan\, & Aronoff LLP \nCase Western Reserve Weatherhead School of Management \nSupporting \nMaher Duessel \nRatliff & Company
