About the course
This two-day workshop explains and applies criteria for defining and achieving vastly improved overall individual and organizational professionalism ... and associated outcomes.
Strategic planning makes possible the otherwise impossible. Most agree that strategic planning is a good idea, but many do not appreciate what distinguishes strategic planning from ordinary, good planning. A broad long-term plan can achieve major goals that would be difficult or impossible to do in a shorter term and without associated planning and scaling. It also allows additional definition and communication of agency values, vision, mission, goals, and objectives to both internal and external stakeholders. The ability to blend agency goals with a realistic projection of available resources and potential liabilities allows formulation of an integrated response to a predicted future environment. Scaling of project dynamics can make the project fit the organization and its environment.
