The Challenge
Whether you have an existing strategic plan nearing its expiration or are developing one for the first time, creating a shared understanding of where you are going as an organization, and what is needed to get there, ensures that everyone is pulling in the same direction and resources are allocated where they should be. Moving forward in an aligned and intentional manner can mean the difference between a plan that serves as the North Star for your work and one that merely “sits on a shelf.”
