What can you name about your philanthropic strategy and what shapes it? What might you hold a bit lighter to afford you more clarity?

Imagine that your end game was not to be as necessary as you might be currently. Instead, guiding your strategy is a desire to "work yourself out of a job." It may not ever happen, but that clarity will afford you greater ease as you navigate an increasingly dynamic ecosystem.

We spend much of our resources -- time, emotional, relational, and intellectual -- in conversations that do not delve deep enough and efforts that do not align with our highest and best use. It does not have to be this way. Clarity Not Certainty Effect(TM) supports moving with clarity instead of clinging to false certainty.

What will I explore?

  • A five-part definition of strategy
  • Draft articulation of your Perspective, defined by making explicit context, assumptions, values, and a core problem
  • One Minimal Elegant Next Step to refine your Perspective
