Why you should Attend:

Whether it is a new administration, shrinking resources, or the impact of new initiatives, this course will equip you with the skills to anticipate the need for a more strategic outlook and the tools for optimizing the ability of your organization to get ahead of the curve.
While having a strategic plan is a good thing the real goal is immerse the organization in the a thought process that allows them to ask important questions about what kind of organization do we need to be in the future and how getting them will advance the mission.
