Strategic Planning: The Fundamentals 

NOTE: This workshop was originally scheduled for Dec. 12, 2018. It has been rescheduled for Feb. 20, 2019.
 

Whether you’re in government or any kind of public service organization, strategic plans are one of the central techniques for progressive leadership and management. This workshop will serve as a “guided tour” of the practical techniques and fundamental components of the strategic planning processes. The session will focus on introducing participants to the various elements that comprise a successful and holistic strategic planning process.

Topics will include stakeholder input, environmental scanning, SWOT analysis, prioritization, communication and implementation. The workshop leaders will focus on building skills and awareness for participants that have never done or want to improve strategic planning in their organization.

Objectives:
  • Explore the basic elements of the most common strategic planning approaches.
  • Understand the core components of strategic planning processes including advantages and disadvantages.
  • Learn how strategic planning fits into other organizational functions, such as budgeting and accountability.
  • Recognize the importance of implementation and the action planning phase of a thorough strategic planning process.
