Think about what your organization could do if the process of planning met the inevitability of change head on-and it resulted in significant success. Organizations large and small, religious and secular, for-profit and not-for-profit, successful and unsuccessful, go through change. John Reid and Maureen Gallagher of the Reid Group have been instrumental in helping many groups discover the power of Prophetic Planning. This book presents a complete overview with detailed information that any organization will find useful in understanding how to plan for change. Beginning with the importance of crafting clear statements of mission, goals, and objectives to charting a road map through the "wilderness" that characterizes change, the authors present examples from parishes, health care organizations, schools, and various not-for-profits. They offer successful conflict management and communication tools that every member of a council, board, or team can learn how to use and apply to the group's success.
