Why Nonprofits Need Both a Strategic Plan and a Business Plan

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Nonprofit Hub Radio Podcast, host Meghan Speer is joined by Dr. Bill Flores—speaker, author, consultant, and former university president—for a timely conversation on leading nonprofits through turbulent times. Drawing from decades of hands-on nonprofit leadership, Dr. Flores challenges organizations to stop “driving blindfolded” and instead embrace strategic planning, business planning, and creative adaptation in the face of uncertainty. Together, they explore why so many nonprofits struggle without clear plans, how leaders can refocus on strengths and core supporters, and what it takes to build sustainable revenue beyond grants alone. This episode offers practical wisdom, encouragement, and a clear call for nonprofit leaders to think differently, plan boldly, and invest in their own leadership development as they work to change the world.Support the showGet free nonprofit professional development resources, connections to cause work peers, and more at https://nonprofithub.org
