Strategic plans should align with an organization's overall mission and vision. They also require assessment and revision from time to time to ensure that they embody core values and meet projected goals. Building or revising a strategic plan requires the ability to manage debate and collaboration among peers, who often have conflicting agendas.

Learn how to gain the buy-in of important stakeholders and decision makers; explore how internal and external environments affect strategic plans; and develop the skills to evaluate and refine them based on changes to these environments. This course shows how to conduct a group retreat where a team can set organizational goals and construct a plan for achieving them.
