non profit strategy map

The following is an example of mapping and prioritizing strategy.

I'll use a real example to illustrate the process. Please note though that this is just an illustration, since the future direction of this project is still an active community discussion--no definite direction has been set for the project. But, I though it was a good illustration of how the process could be used on a non-profit project.

This is the North Star House, designed in 1905 by the famous Julia Morgan, California's first women architect and designer of over 800 buildings, including the Hearst Castle at San Simeon. The North Star House was built in Grass Valley as the Foote Family home at the North Star Gold Mine. There is a lot more on this project at the links provided at the end of this presentation, if you are interested.

The problem statement is simple... the house and historic site fell into disrepair in the 1980s, it has been placed in caretaker status by a local non-profit, and there are ongoing discussions about the future use of this important historical asset. What are the possible end-use alternatives and what process could be used to reach consensus?

The decision process Ill illustrate involves deciding on a possible end-use or end-state for the project, this is based on a set of overarching objectives for the project... Then Ill show how an execution strategy might be formed, and where to focus the limited resources based on the strategies that generate the greatest benefit. We've applied this process to corporate strategy formulation, but this is the first time we have used it in a non-profit application.
