Strategic Planning
Workshop Description:
Author Lewis Carroll once shared, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” The same applies to organizations without a strategic direction or plan. Regardless of your organization’s size, every organization benefits from setting some directional compass points to help you reach your end goal. This workshop will provide an overview of the value of strategic planning and components of the strategic planning process so attendees leave prepared to develop and implement their own strategic plans in the future.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate your strategic plan readiness
- Apply the Strategic Planning Life Cycle to your organization
- Familiarize yourself with strategic planning terms
- Prepare/develop the framework of your plan with a corresponding timeline for the planning process
