DT | Beyond the Dusty Binder: Bottom Line Results Through Effective Strategic Planning - 11:45 a.m.

A goal without a plan is just a wish. Is your organization operating on a set of wishes that you will reach your desired mission or bottom line results? Are your organization’s plans sitting on a shelf in binders getting dusty? Conduct a Google search on ‘Strategic Planning’ and 42 million results will be returned. Conduct a Google search on ‘Strategic Planning Failure’ and 38 million results will be returned. What does that tell you? It tells you there is a huge level of interest in strategic planning and that a lot of strategic plans are failing.

Lack of effective planning is a concern for most organizations. Many struggle with connecting the dots between the mission of the organization and the desired bottom line results. Developing goals is just the first step.  Once identified, then resource constraints, conflicting priorities, execution, and ongoing governance have to be addressed.

Learn about a best practice framework for approaching strategic and tactical planning as an organizational system rather than a series of events. Learn how to make strategic and tactical planning an integrated part of your organizational practices, resulting in plans that are relevant and sustainable year after year.
