“Values are ‘core values’ when their influence on what people
do supersedes that of most other values in a value system.”
They are guidelines for prioritizing which programs to
pursue. (Van Rekom et al., p. 175, 2006 )

                                     Vision
“Vision is the most powerful motivator
in an organization. If it's vivid and meaningful
enough, people can do astounding things to bring
it to realization. But if it's lacking, no amount of
resources will be able to get people off their
butts”

                                          Vision
The  vision     of an organization, an articulation of a
  nonprofit’s “common sense of purpose and direction,”
 should be distinguished from strategy       , which is “the
coherent set of actions and programs aimed at fulfilling the
organization’s overarching goals”. Strategy should “build on
  a nonprofit’s core competencies, allocate resources to
     priorities and help delineate its unique point of
                      differentiation”.

Oasis Theory of Change: Positive change happens when we develop perspectives based on hope, a vision of what is possible, and the courage to act.
                        We cultivate this change through caring relationships, meaningful action, and thoughtful refle ction.

Strategic
              Framework

The more an organization can be clear about
their strategic framework - including a theory
  of change - the better their ability to align
 their actions, communicate their purpose to
stakeholders, and continuously learn from and
             improve their efforts.
What elements of a strategic framework are you clearly

    The vision of an organization, an articulation of a nonprofit’s “common sense of purpose and direction,” should be distinguished from strategy , which is “the coherent set of actions and programs aimed at fulfilling the organization’s overarching goals”. Strategy should “build on a nonprofit’s core competencies, allocate resources to priorities and help delineate its unique point of differentiation”. (McKinsey & Company, 2001)
