 • Strategic Management Workshop
This course provides an organization with the tools needed to implement a strategic management process focused on setting strategy and tactics to achieve a future oriented goal. Participants learn how to define their organization's unique vision, core values and purpose. A Strategy Mapping model is used to reach agreement on key priorities and initiatives needed to achieve the defined goal and attendees are instructed on how to use a Balanced Scorecard to track performance against defined targets. Elements of Project Management and Change Management are also introduced to provide a process for the actual strategic management process implementation.

Next workshop tentatively scheduled for Summer 2008.

Please call Ben Markens at 413-562-8405 for more information.
