A practical place to start

Strategic Snapshot

A focused external review to clarify what matters most and what should happen next.

Organisations are rarely short of ideas, needs or opportunities. The challenge is knowing where to focus first. The New Shore Strategic Snapshot is an independent, high-level assessment of your organisation’s current position — identifying the opportunities, challenges and priorities most likely to help move it forward.

It is not a strategic plan. It’s a practical starting point to help you step back, see the bigger picture and determine where your time, energy and resources can have the greatest impact.

The review

What does it involve?

It starts with a 45–60 minute conversation with key people, to understand the organisation and its current situation. New Shore will then:

  • Review relevant documents, plans and financial information
  • Consider areas such as strategy, operations, fundraising, communications, governance, people and organisational capacity, as relevant
  • Identify significant opportunities, constraints and areas requiring attention

The purpose isn’t to examine everything in exhaustive detail, but to develop an overall strategic picture and determine where attention should be directed first.

Clarity

A useful first step

Particularly useful where an organisation:

  • You see potential for growth or improvement but are unsure where to begin
  • You have several competing priorities and need greater clarity
  • You want an independent, external perspective
  • You are considering a larger strategic, fundraising or organisational development project

The outcome

What will you receive?

A practical written report providing an external perspective on:

Your current position

A clear external view of where the organisation currently stands.

Opportunities and challenges

The principal opportunities, constraints and issues requiring attention.

Recommended priorities

Practical priorities focused on the matters likely to have the greatest impact.

A pathway forward

A practical pathway for what should happen next.

This is followed by a conversation with Bernard to discuss the findings and talk through what, if anything, should happen next.
