WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
As nonprofits grow, expand, and adapt to change, it is important to optimize, streamline, and document standard operating procedures (SOPs). Developing effective SOPs helps nonprofit staff complete projects, manage programs, and fulfill their organization’s mission efficiently. These procedures not only improve operational efficiency but also help nonprofit professionals identify time-consuming tasks and areas that can be streamlined. By documenting how the organization operates, leaders ensure that critical information is preserved, even as staff roles evolve or leadership transitions occur. This workshop is ideal for organizations experiencing growth, onboarding new staff, or seeking to enhance their current operating procedures.
Participants in this series workshop will learn how to create and implement standard operating procedures that support the scaling of programs and services. The session includes a detailed walkthrough of how to create standard operating procedures and provides a practical standard operating procedure template that can be tailored to their organization’s needs. Whether your organization is expanding, undergoing change, or simply aiming to improve its operational practices, this workshop offers the tools and strategies to build a foundation for lasting success.
