2020 GBA/GIP Virtual Programming: Developing, Implementing and Monitoring Your Strategic Plan Webinar - August 26

This webinar, part of the 2020 GBA/GIP Virtual Programming series, will focus on developing, implementing and monitoring your strategic plan.

A strategic plan identifies how an organization will prioritize their resources to achieve a desired future state while positioning itself to be competitive within the industry. Strategic plans most notoriously fail in the implementation phase; however, implementation success hinges upon the quality of the plan formulation. This session will provide a strategic planning overview, medical school specific approaches, as well as how to utilize logic models as a strategic planning framework.  

Learning Objectives: 

  • Articulate the four major components of a strategic planning process in academic medicine. 
  • Identify essential skill sets that strategic planners must master to manage a successful planning process. 
  • Understand how and when to implement various tools into individual schools’ planning processes.
