▶️ Join us for Strategic Plan Implementation on September 9 ▶️

Good strategic plans don’t just live on a shelf. They live through effective operational planning and ground-level decisions about programming, finances, hiring, and more.

In this workshop, we will explore the different ways that strategic plans are converted into actions and decisions. This may involve structural changes, leadership support, community engagement, resource allocation, and capacity building.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:​
✅Identify potential changes to structure, capacity, and communications that will support implementation.
✅Describe the purpose and development of a “strategy filter”
✅Identify ways to embed organizational values in processes and policies.
✅Describe types of key performance indicators and other measures of success.
