Learner Outcomes
Strategic planning is generally not something we are taught nor inherently know how to do. As a result, it can be tricky, and sometimes daunting. Have no fear! This workshop will engage and encourage you to challenge your current views of how your organization currently operates. There will be time for an overview of best practices and then all attendees can openly discuss failures, successes, and provide constructive criticism in an effort to better each other’s organization.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify your organizations SWOT’s and create an action plan to address them
- Establish SMART objectives for your organization: How, When, Where & Why
- Differentiate the types and uses of a multi-year strategic plan, an annual business strategic plan, and a development (fundraising) strategic plan and identifying what will work best for your organization
