Positioning Your Organization for the Future: Strategic Organizational Planning that Makes a Difference

Strategic planning is an organizational management activity that is used to set organizational priorities to assist the organization to successfully carry out its mission and vision.  Each part of the outline of a typical strategic organization plan will be discussed. This will include the organization’s:

• Mission and vision
• Problems
• Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT Analysis)

This workshop will also cover how to move a strategic plan from being a remote mechanical process to generate engagement and maximize the likelihood that the plan will be a living document. The roles of staff, board, and facilitator (s) will also be explored.
