Nonprofit Strategic Positioning: Decide Where to Be, Plan What to Do is the first nonprofit-oriented book to describe strategic positioning as an alternative to traditional strategic planning. Even in the nonprofit sector, strategic planning is becoming discredited as a formulaic, go-nowhere exercise. This book will take the reader on a stimulating journey through nonprofit strategy development and implementation. The book is timely because the nonprofit sector has reached a turning point where the need to be more business-like is undeniable, and the continuing retreat of the public sector has left even wider gaps in services that nonprofits will be asked to fill. Nonprofit Strategic Positioning: Decide Where to Be, Plan What to Do offers a fresh new way for nonprofits to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

"As leaders, we live and work in a vastly changing world. Tom McLaughlin provides an excellent framework and basis for strategic thinking and acting when responding to these changes. Nonprofit Strategic Positioning provides a treasure chest of best practices, relevant planning principles, and rules for engaging issues that will improve the performance of the twenty-first century not-for-profit."
--Ronnie E. Jenkins, National Vice President, Services to Clubs Boys & Girls Clubs of America
"Once again, Tom McLaughlin does what consulting experts rarely do--he teaches others how to do it themselves. Drawing on his vast experience and keen powers of observation, Tom offers insights on trends, a practical approach to organizational strategy and even recipe cards to guide the process. With this how-to guide, even the most reluctant organizations can position themselves for the future."
--Jill A. Schumann, President and CEO Lutheran Services in America
