Tuesday, April 24 - 9:00am to 11:00am. - Strategic Planning - An Inclusive Approach

Kent State University at Stark Confeence Center
6000 Frank Avenue NW
North Canton, OH 44720

Successful execution of any strategic plan results from engaging all stakeholders in an interactive and dynamic process aimed to promote a more innovative, agile, and adaptable organization. Leaders cannot have all the answers. Allow a more inclusive group to share their perspectives, ideas, and raise challenging questions.

When people responsible for the plan's execution are involved during the planning process they are more likely to support the changes. Attitudes and mindsets change through genuine engagement and two-way interaction, through small practices which change the way you work together every day.

Key Takeaways - through hands-on activities:

Practice the elements of open dialogue to more courageously explore important strategic issues.
Learn how to create the space for genuine interaction characterized by curiosity, expression of ideas, inquiry, and experimentation.
Learn the technique to protoype your strategic plan to design the next steps well
