How Nonprofits Can Turn Their Strategic Plan Into a Simple Dashboard

📉 The problem

Many tools marketed to nonprofits overcomplicate things. For Executive Directors, the result is more dashboards, more admin, and more frustration — not more clarity.

🎯 Why it’s worth solving

EDs are accountable to boards, donors, and staff. They need quick visibility into what’s working, what’s stalling, and what to prioritize next. That means smart tools — not complex ones.

💡 How we made it better

In one project, we built a streamlined dashboard that translated an entire strategic plan into an intuitive visual summary. It auto-updated based on staff inputs, aligned metrics to each goal, and allowed the ED to lead with confidence — no spreadsheet diving required.
