About this Event

Key Learnings:

After the session the participants will …

  • have explored good practice in terms of strategic planning, with a specific focus on the current challenging economic landscape experienced across the third sector.
  • have discussed practical examples of where strategic planning processes have worked well.
  • have a chance to think about what might be best for their organisation by working with peers during the session.

This event is for CEOs, directors, board members and those with leadership responsibilities within organisations.

In this session, we will look at the principles of good strategic planning. We will look at the questions and challenges the difficult economic climate is giving us and we will consider how we can be brave and bold as we build an organisation that is focused on delivering impact into the future. Participants will have a chance to explore their own hopes and fears thought asking questions and discussion.
