Strategic Plan Development
The Opportunity: The Schenck School is a leader is dyslexia education in the Metro-Atlanta area. To meet its goal of expanding the school beyond its existing boundaries, The Schenck School Board of Trustees launched a new non-profit, The Dyslexia Resource as a means for sharing the reading expertise of the School with other struggling readers.
Our Services: GSG supported The Dyslexia Resource’s inaugural strategic planning process through design and implementation of a strategy to launch the organization. Specific consultation included:
Definition of The Dyslexia Resource’s mission
Review of and recommendations for governance structure
Engagement of key stakeholders including donors, board members, Schenck School faculty and staff, and Atlanta educational organizations and nonprofits to understand perceptions and areas of greatest need for the new organization
Facilitation of sessions with the Strategic Planning Committee and Board of Directors to create the strategic direction and strategic plan components
Coaching for the organization’s leaders in developing strategic initiatives to address areas of strategic focus
Training and support for the organization’s leaders to develop and implement detailed action plans for a set of priority strategic initiatives.
