Debunking the bad rep of strategic planning.
What if strategic planning could be transformed into an inspiring change-making experience that amplified community voices and created intentional space for organizations to flourish? When we structure strategic planning to focus on accountability and sustainability, it can be!
Take a deep dive into the strategic planning process. We'll explore it, think critically about it, and create with it. Laughter, celebration, (and challenges!) sure to be included.
