During this session, we will review the components of a strategic plan. The first step is to know where to start the process. Some companies and organizations may begin with their current state and others may start with their future vision. We will look at the impact the starting position has in developing the plan.
In order to move an organization through the strategic planning process, the use of a variety of facilitation methodologies is necessary. Do you know the best methodologies? How do you choose the most appropriate? Can you keep the participants fully engaged during the process? These, and other questions you may have, will be addressed during this session. Additionally, you will get to model some of the key methodologies and add more tools to your toolbox.
