How many of us have spent months developing a detailed strategic plan, only to see it languish somewhere deep within our website, never to be looked at – until it’s time to develop a new one? This session will provide strong approaches to strategic planning to advance your vision, map directly to the goals of the university, and drive annual and campaign strategies. Central to our planning culture is a simple, but powerful concept – the commitment to a set of annual “Vital Few Goals.” This will be an interactive session, covering our own successes, challenges, lessons learned, and ideas to share about how you too can bring strategic planning to life, and make it both a visionary and practical tool to achieve success. Come learn how you can embrace strategic planning in your organization and “Live the Plan”!
