Framework for Strategic Planning - 4 credits
Beginning with a clear mission, strategic planning is an iterative, dynamic process of translating the mission into a series of goals and outcomes. The organization’s vision, values, mission and goals are the core of the process; strategic planning involves a series of options, understanding opportunities, evaluating risk, developing the plan and building in ethics, communication, implementation and evaluation. The strengths and limitations of rational planning processes are explored and strategies for coping with unintended consequences are developed.
