Vectors Group is a scientific research-focused organization specialized in nonprofit organizations. Our team works closely with researchers from University of Ottawa, Dalhousie University, and other academic institutions from all around the world. Our researchers have developed several quantitative and qualitative models to assist all kinds of management practices at nonprofit organizations. The ViStA Strategic Management Framework is one of the solutions we developed. As shown in the Figure-1 it is a guideline for strategic evaluation, planning and implementation.

The ViStA
Strategic Management Framework

The ViStA Strategic management for nonprofit organizations Framework includes four stages:
1. Strategic evaluation
2. Strategy development
3. Strategy implementation
4. Performance management

The central vertical section of the ViStA Strategic management for nonprofit organizations Framework focuses on the three intra-organizational pillars of nonprofit management: system, structure and strategy.

The horizontal aspect of the ViStA Strategic management for nonprofit organizations Framework addresses external factor including stakeholders and strategic partners and impact as an outcome and value proposition of the nonprofit organization to the beneficiaries.

The Balance
Model

The ViStA Framework is composed of several tools for various purposes. One of the models we are planning to use in this project is called the Balance Model. Figure 2 shows that it uses Quality and SABLE2 as two dimensions of strategic planning and implementation.

Impact Measurement

The ViStA Strategic Management Framework also includes a three-dimensional impact measurement and management system. Vectors Group is the only institute that developed a quantitative tool to measure individual level, community level and target-group level impact of community services. Figure illustrates an example case for an organization with three services.

The ViStA Strategic Management Framework is developed Vectors Group researchers and proven to be an efficient strategic planning and evaluation tool for all kinds of nonprofit organizations and charities.

    Testimonials

    Vectors Group was surprisingly fast and effective in our strategy evaluation process. Their custom designed questionnaire both helped us to quantify “where we are today” and “where we want to be in the future” and helped us prioritize our strategies.

    We wanted to build on the quality of services that we currently provide, identify gaps and embrace emerging opportunities. Vectors Group’s strategic-planning process helped us evaluate where we are, identify our priorities and develop a clear plan to achieve them.

    The Alberta Workforce Essential Skills Society contracted Omer and Mercedes at Vectors Group to walk us through a strategic planning exercise using tools designed by himself and his team specifically for the non-profit sector. Through the guided sessions, we were about to define our services, values, and impact to a greater degree. We walked away with a better understanding of the goals we want to focus on over the next three years. Omer and Mercedes were engaging and shared numerous tools that will be helpful as we take steps towards measuring our accomplishments. Thank you.

    The way Daniel (Vectors Group) has tied it all together and shown the interconnectedness of the various elements works really well in guiding the discussion. In fact, I think it’s one of the best formats I’ve ever seen in all the years I’ve been involved with Strategic Planning.
