Strategic planning starts strong, then dies in a spreadsheet
Limited Input: You serve thousands of people, but your plan only reflects dozens of voices.
No Clear Priorities: Your strategic plan has 27 priorities, your team has none.
No Sense of Progress: Six months in, nobody can tell you what's on track and what's stalled.
Quickly Outdated: A funder shifts priorities, a key hire leaves, and suddenly half your plan is irrelevant.
StratSimple ensures a smooth process, a smart strategy, and results that stick
Step 1
Gather input from all voices, not just the loudest
Survey hundreds of stakeholders at once. Our AI interviewer runs open-ended surveys, asks smart follow-ups in each participant’s preferred language, and captures real lived experience.
“The virtual interview surveys produced comprehensive results, unlike any other SWOT analysis I’ve seen.”
Maria MontoroCEO @ Maternal & Family Health Services Step 2
Distill hundreds of perspectives into one clear story
StratSimple analyzes responses and delivers an editable, board-ready PowerPoint in days. Our expert analysts review the results first, so you get clear theme analysis, real quotes, and usable insights you can trust.
“Creating a plan based on robust data is much more meaningful than internal employees ‘guessing’ about the direction we should go.”
Kate BowersoxExecutive Director, Books in Homes USA Step 3
Work with a consultant who gets your mission
Each organization is matched with an expert who leads the planning process, facilitates decision-making, and delivers a clear 3-year strategy and a 1-year measurable plan.

Can I use StratSimple if I already have a strategic plan?
Absolutely. We can load your existing strategic framework into StratSimple, then collect team updates and automate reporting for staff and board meetings. If you only have a high-level plan, we'll help you build measurable annual goals to support it.
How much does StratSimple cost?
Our Implementation Dashboard starts at $2,225/year for nonprofits under $10M in Form990 revenue and includes up to 50 users. We price per organization, not per seat, so adding new team members won't cost extra. Strategic Listening & Analysis projects start at $5,000 depending on scope. We're typically a fraction of the cost of alternatives. Check out the pricing page for more details.
Is there a limit to how many participants we can include in our surveys?
There's no limit on survey participants. Most responses come through anonymous links you can share however you'd like (email, newsletters, or social media). For highly engaged groups like board members or staff, we can send up to 500 tracked invitations so you'll know who has responded and we can automate follow-ups. This cap helps protect email deliverability and keep response rates high.
What languages does your survey tool support?
If Google Translate can handle it, we probably can too! You write your survey in your preferred language. Our Virtual Interview Survey detects each participant’s response language, asks follow-up questions in that same language, and translates everything into English for analysis.
How long does it take to get started, and what does training look like?
You can start using StratSimple within minutes of signing up. We offer a 30-minute live training, and most teams are ready to go immediately afterward! Follow-up questions are rare. All we need to get started is your mission, vision, values, and any existing strategic plan. And if you ever need support, we're here to help.
How customizable is the language/terminology for goals?
Fully customizable. While we’re fans of the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) framework, we know every organization has its own vocabulary. It doesn’t matter if you call them “priorities”, “objectives”, “focus areas” or “pillars.” StratSimple adapts to match the language you already use.
How does StratSimple help with board reporting?
StratSimple automatically summarizes your plan's progress and generates an editable PowerPoint for board meetings. Review it, make any tweaks you'd like, and you're ready to present. No more scrambling to pull updates together before every meeting.
Can I use StratSimple if I'm already working with a consultant?
You sure can! We work alongside consultants all the time. In fact, many of our clients come through consulting partners. StratSimple handles the community listening upfront and the implementation tracking afterward, leaving your consultant free to focus on facilitation and strategy.
How does StratSimple protect my data?
Your data is hosted securely within the enterprise Microsoft Azure platform, encrypted in transit and at rest. We don't sell or share your information, your data can never be used for AI model training, and you retain full ownership of everything you put into StratSimple.
