Overview:
The recent pandemic has re-enforced the need to adjust or even recreate strategic business plans. While this sounds exciting, and it is, it cannot be done in a hurry or just by talking about thoughts and ideas. Strategic planning is a significant exercise for all organizations and requires discipline, creativity, and dedication.
Strategic planning impacts all levels of the organization and all employees in one way or another. Many of us will have the opportunity to participate in planning sessions or perhaps even lead the development of a new strategic business plan.
This Strategic Planning Conference, consisting of four separate sessions, will help prepare participants for that exercise, whether you lead or just contribute, or even if you want to be prepared for the next level of management, these three sessions can help you excel at strategic planning.
Participants will leave the course with a better and deeper understanding of strategic planning processes, from objective setting, to risk assessment, to strategic plan development and implementation.
Why you should Attend:
Emerging from the Pandemic many companies will be creating new business strategies. We can either let other people do the heavy lifting or we can support and even lead those efforts.
