Creating a Strategic Plan That Works!

A strategic plan should help an organization clearly define its purpose, develop a strong vision for the future, and establish agreed-upon, achievable goals and priorities that are within the organization’s capacity for implementation. A well-crafted strategic plan engages everyone and provides direction to the staff and board on how to spend their limited time and energy. Planning is both an art and a science and involves a great deal of resources, time and board and staff energy.

In this workshop, we will discuss:

• The real benefits of doing a plan (they aren’t just what you think they are)
• When you shouldn’t do a strategic plan and what you might need instead
• The planning process and when you should or shouldn’t hire a consultant
• The 5 things you need to do to create a plan that you can actually execute
• The impact your organization’s culture, nimbleness, and board and staff leadership will have on your strategic plan
