Tumultuous financial times create the opportunity to think conventionally or unconventionally. We probably need to do both. Challenging times give us the gift of opportunity to assess our organization from top to bottom -- candidly and thoroughly.
Let's take this opportunity to embrace the bold changes that we need to make in order to grow our organizations profitably – through objective feedback, solid planning, and customer-driven processes that deliver on your mission each and every day.
Please let us know how we might help you or another organization in your network navigate through these choppy waters.
One year ago Anita S. Duckor (Duckor & Associates) was retained by the Minnesota Land Trust to develop and guide its comprehensive and highly successful Strategic Plan. This process, which was completed on schedule and budget in the fall of 2009, is now serving as the basis for our organization's plan and implementation for programmatic and operational growth into the future. Her guidance and help has already made a positive difference at Minnesota Land Trust.

Given that success, we again chose Anita to guide us through a subsequent process, leading to the complementing Capacity and Program Building Campaign Plan. This plan and her guidance, resulting in the incredible involvement of staff, board and stake-holders, is now being implemented. Both the process and plan have given our organization not only a new spirit of determination and commitment, but also a very specific and useful step-by-step procedure to guide and measure our work on a daily, monthly and annual basis for the next three years..........leading us to a new future.
