Strategic planning is a an ongoing process, versus an annual event. A straight-forward, proven, re-peatable process for strategic planning is neces-sary along with a consistent method for review-ing external factors (economic, competitive trends), as well as internal factors (achievement of current year goals, key performance measures, member satisfaction surveys.)
Also, important is a process to determine and agree upon what to stop doing, a consistent method to set goals that are measureable, a way to develop clear targets and deadlines, and a means to develop initiatives that guide the activi-ties of every person, every day. Board directors and senior managers are charged with stewarding the co-op’s strategic and succes-sion planning process. Grappling with tough de-cisions is part of the job. Join Kevin and board peers to:
• Engage in open and collaborative dialogue regarding the strategic planning process
• Learn to make planning decisions with exter-nal perspectives
• Evaluate the way resources allocated to in-sure it is consistent with established priorities and co-op values
