The Germanna Foundation engaged Bryan & Jordan Consulting, LLC in April 2018 to assist with its strategic planning process. Our commitment was to prepare goals and action items that were achievable and could ensure a relevant and sustainable future for the Foundation and the sites it oversees.
The Germanna Foundation Board of Trustees, the staff, stakeholders, and partner organizations participated in the process that began with a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) Analysis. Following the SWOT process, the Strategic Planning Steering Committee engaged in a series of work sessions with Bryan & Jordan to prepare a draft set of goals, followed by a draft plan.
The plan was refined and prepared with actionable steps, and was adopted in September 2018 as a working document. It represents transformative elements that require full commitment from the Board of Trustees, the staff, and Friends groups to be formed in support of each site.
The attached plan is separated into immediate goals (2018-2019) and long-term goals (2020-2023). The plan strives to transform the Germanna Foundation holdings into a significant, well-known, and often-visited group of interpreted archaeological sites and historic structures. The Foundation and the staff will be guided by this plan and it’s corresponding action items.
