Is your organization undertaking strategic planning? Do you want to learn more about how to use data to capture the strengths, opportunities, and impact in your next plan? Recently, strategic planning has jumped out of the corner office of the “C-suite” toward an inclusive format that engages the whole organizational community. Over the course of this three-part training you will learn more about data-informed strategic planning and how organizations are using it to action plan and set better, more responsive goals for their future. Join us in exploring this process that can help sustain and tell the story of your program and strengthen your decision-making processes.

Session Topics:

• Session 1 - Data-informed Strategic Planning 101: This session will share Wilder Research's experiences with data-informed strategic planning, what they've learned from this new method, and how organizations can benefit. Attendees will leave with an understanding of this new method of planning, as well as tools and ideas for using the method in their own processes.
• Session 2 - Putting the “Data” in Data-informed: Using the right data well is key to having your plan come together. This session will explore types of data you can use in your strategic planning session: from surveys and interviews, to engaging audiences in listening sessions and arts-based methods.
• Session 3 - Creating and Using Your Plan: The final session will showcase types of strategic plans that have come from data-informed strategic planning and how these are put into action.
