Led by JoAnn Hackos
Duration: two days

This workshop is available only as an in-house workshop!

This workshop will introduce organization leaders to the strategic planning process and give them enough practical information to get started on their own planning efforts.

Strategic planning-the process of determining where you intend to be and how you're going to get there-is absolutely essential to the success of any organization. But our assessment of the information development community indicates that the majority of organizations, whether operating as stand-alone businesses or as internal functions within larger companies, do little or no strategic planning. One of the main reasons is that they don't know what strategic planning is, why it's important, or how to do it.
