Have you noticed that change is continuing to happen at a more and more rapid pace? Obviously, some organizations survived change far better than others due to their ability to handle unexpected developments. Sick and tired of taking CPE that has no practical application or just regurgitates the same information over and over? Join us for this practical course, which will present a fresh approach to planning and strategy formulation for your organization. Often thought of as a painful process, planning and strategy formulation is probably one of the most important processes any organization undertakes in order to achieve financial success. We’ll explore this fresh approach to many different planning stages, including the marketing plan, the technology plan, the capital plan, the five-year operating plan and much more! The pandemic has shown us that our planning process must be far nimbler and allow our organization to shift rapidly. Today’s dynamic economic environment requires much more careful planning and strategy execution. Come find out how to make that happen for your organization.
