Are you able to clearly articulate where your organization is going in the next three to five years? What are the priorities? How are you going to get there? We all know thinking about the future is important. But all too often, we get caught up in our day-to-day work and we don’t allocate the time needed to think about what lies ahead.

During this 1-hour webinar, we’ll help you uncover practical approaches to strategic thinking. This isn’t just about thinking—it’s about strategically changing what you do in your job to have a better sense of your organizations—and your own—point of view on the future.

You’ll learn how to:

• Explain what your company does and where it’s going in concise, layperson’s language
• Ask incisive questions about potential threats and opportunities and discuss them
• Make specific recommendations about how to do something differently 
• Prioritize your activities to maximize your impact on reaching current goals
