About this Event
Can You Plan for the Unplanned?
With so many things uncertain these days, it's hard to think about planning — either for the short-term or long into the future. Even though you may feel stuck in overwhelm, you can still plot a course in a strategic direction.
Developing a strategic plan is a great way to set goals, map out activities, and measure outcomes. This is true whether it's for an entire organization or just one department or program.
You can’t get stuck in a one-time definition of your plan, though, since things change constantly. You need to figure out how to maneuver and adapt your plans to truly be successful.
We'll talk about:
- What Strategic Planning Is and Is Not
- How Strategic Planning Differs in Times of Uncertainty
- How Scenario Planning Works
- Adjusting Your Plans
This workshop will uncover how you can create a plan that will strengthen and position your organization for success — and allow for the possibilities that might derail your plans at any point.
Session Objectives
- Understanding the basics of strategic planning
- Knowing how to make adjustments in plans
- Resources, real-world examples, and exercises to help with planning
