It’s difficult to keep your organization or team on track if you aren’t clear what track you’re on or what destination you’re trying to reach.
Designed for board members, Executive Directors and anyone else responsible for casting strategic vision, this workshop will demonstrate the value of having a collaboratively-developed strategic plan. It will offer dozens of practical considerations to take into account as you prepare to plan. It will help you design a planning process that is aligned with the needs and resources of your organization. Not only will you leave with tools and templates to guide your planning, but you will have been given time and coaching to begin actually filling them in. And you will be equipped with strategies to ensure your plan breathes life into your team rather than gather dust on a shelf.
