Pitfalls and Opportunities in Strategic Planning

Is your organization ready for strategic planning? Is this the right time? What do you want from such a process? Is an entirely new plan really needed?

This workshop is aimed at organization leaders who might be considering whether to undertake strategic planning. The goal of this program is not to review the strategic planning process but to help attendees determine the best approach, and ensure that whatever process you pursue is a successful one, truly tailored to the needs of your organization.

Topics covered will include:

• Organizational Readiness
• Defining Process Goals and Deliverables
• Whether You Need a Consultant
• Maximizing the Chances for a Successful Process and Plan 
• Successful Implementation of Your Plan
