Long-range planning is time-consuming, and frequently "the plan" ends up gathering dust on a shelf. Yet, every organization needs planning in order to stay on track and grow. This session will help you select a type of plan that your organization can develop and actually use. Then you will learn how to carry out your strategic planning process and see that "the plan" is implemented. Participants will go home with a completed SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis, strategies to position their organization for long-term success, and techniques to ensure their strategic plan will stay activated. Lynn O'Connell has led more than 35 organizations through the strategic-planning process over the past 20 years. A few examples of her clients include: National Military Family Association, TV Project, Different Drum School, and the Bar Association of the District of Columbia.
