Strategic Planning
A clear strategic plan can help your organisation stay focused, make good decisions, and strengthen the impact of your work.
Join us for a workshop to introduce the fundamentals of strategic planning. Designed specifically for community groups and for purpose organisations, this session will cover:
- Understand what a strategic plan is and why it matters.
- How to identify your purpose, vision, and values
- Setting strategic priorities and measurable goals
- How to translate those goals into an action plan
You’ll leave with templates, tools, and a clear starting point to help get started on your strategic plan.
