4 Simple Steps To Shift From Planning To Doing

You Can Quickly Shift From Planning to Doing By Following These Four Easy Steps

Philanthropy focuses a lot of time and brainpower on the how-to of strategic planning and very little on practical implementation. And yet, if not implemented effectively all your planning will waste time and resources. Change is hard work.
