2nd Quarter Meeting

Taking the Strategic Pain Out of Strategic Planning

With COVID concerns and more distributed, remote-working employees, institutions must meet the challenge of building consensus and establishing priorities that support and promote long-term planning while also meeting the documentation needs of external oversight agencies like accreditors. 

Moving the strategic planning process online by using a course/module application has many advantages. 

1. The online course is an effective way to reach your decision-makers regardless of the number involved or if they are local or distant.

2. You can leverage the built-in course assessment options as a way to collect and report on the strategic process questions.

3. The course modules provide an efficient way to organize and categorize your internal and external data, surveys and market analysis so that your decision-makers have the information they need in considering broader goals.

4. The course is a great way to provide adequate and appropriate data analysis that culminates into consensus-driven reporting, which will serve as the foundation for goal-setting.

The presentation focuses on both the technical requirements of setting up the strategic planning course and the organizational framework that ensures your strategic planning process will address all the requirements to fulfill appropriate and adequate data-sharing and goal setting needs.
