The Relationship between Formal Planning and Performance in Nonprofit Organizations
Abstract
Questionnaire, telephone interview, staff consultant rating, &
statistical data on 240 Young Men's Christian Assoc organizations
revealed that, regardless of organization size, those organizations
that used a formal approach to strategic planning had higher levels of
financial & social performance than those with less formal
processes. The better performers also assigned the responsibility for
planning to a strategic planning subcommittee of the board rather than
to the board's executive committee or outside consultant. 2 Tables, 1
