All was going well as I gave my lively presentation to the faculty on Catholic School Vitality until I mentioned these two words: strategic planning. The ensuing reaction was a combination of eerie silence and foreboding fear.
For too many Catholic school leaders, strategic planning is an obligatory effort to satisfy accreditation requirements, lacking community input, while rarely utilized for real growth and improvement.
Let’s change our mindset on this and consider a new approach, one that engages school stakeholders, gathers valuable input and creates a new model of vitality and sustainability. At Catholic Vitality 360, we call this Strategic Visioning.
Gone are the days of a lengthy and laborious planning process that may sit on the shelf and be forgotten. Strategic Visioning is designed to address critical issues with workable solutions, creating an effective and visionary roadmap for your Catholic school that mobilizes needed resources, builds momentum and gets results. 
Imagine a process that invites your community to be a part of your mission and vision by sharing their gifts and talents to elevate and advance your future. 
Here are the five phases of the Strategic Visioning Process (see handout below): 
PHASE ONE: Conduct School Vitality Assessment\n    
Conduct Personal Interviews with Key Stakeholders
\n    
Completion of Assessment Questionnaire & Vitality Scorecard Tool
\n    
Present Findings of School Vitality Assessment Report 
\n    
Establish & Share Critical Issues Facing the School
\n
PHASE TWO: Establish Steering Committee\n    
Process Leadership Team of School Stakeholders
\n    
Creates Process Theme, Training, Events & Timeline
\n    
Conducts 5-7 Community Listening Sessions
\n    
Establish Communication & Marketing Plan
\n

\n

\n

\n    
Formulate New School Vitality Model
\n
PHASE FOUR: Organize & Host Vision & Vitality Summit\n

\n

\n

\n

\n    
Organize Vision Implementation Process with Teams
\n

\n
Over the years, having facilitated this proven model of Strategic Visioning in numerous Catholic schools, the benefits of this process are abundant and ample. One of many fruits is the value of tapping into the multitude of gifts and talents among your parents, alumni, grandparents, parishioners and friends.
I have personally witnessed the sharing of an abundance of generosity through this process – in human, intellectual and financial capital and this connects to our spiritual and moral imperative to serve.
A shared and common vision allows people to understand your needs, see the path forward and become engaged in your bright future. 
So, it is time to step out in faith, to reach beyond the cynical or limiting mindset and create this new vision for success. Surround yourself with good and positive people and begin the journey to achieving higher levels of vitality – for a shared and compelling vision is very powerful.
Do not fear, we walk in Faith and this is God’s work.
