Event Description

Title
Sticking to your Strategic Plan

Presenters
Rebekah Lambert, Executive Director, Range2Basin Strategic
Gil Levy, Executive Director, KIDS Center

Strategic planning is an investment. A lot of time, effort, creativity, hope, and sometimes frustration can go into the process of developing a strategic plan. And then what happens? This practical, results-oriented session focuses on how to ensure that your strategic plan comes to life and doesn't sit on that proverbial shelf getting dusty until the next obligatory strategic planning process.

Note: This session will be most relevant to organizations with existing strategic plans and also to those that may be considering a strategic planning process. Other organizations may still find the tools and practices for prioritization and evaluation useful.

Learning objectives:

• Understand practical approaches to strategic planning that help to ensure that board and staff hold themselves accountable to the organization's strategic plan once approved, and how to incorporate these same practices into plan implementation
• Review tools for prioritization and evaluation
• Through a Central Oregon case study, explore how a plan is being implemented, evaluated, and adapted real-time in the first year after plan approval 
• Outline a process for review, evaluation, and updating of your strategic plan in the context of your own organization
