Strategic Planning in Uncertain Times
Strategic Planning in Uncertain Times
Navigating today’s challenges—economic shifts, technological advancements, and rising stakeholder expectations—requires more than a traditional approach to strategic planning. While uncertainty may feel like an obstacle, it’s actually an opportunity to think differently and build resilience.
In this post, we explore how organizations can:
Reconnect with their core purpose to guide priorities.
Use data to uncover meaningful stories that drive decisions.
Foster collaboration to create strategies with lasting impact.
Build flexibility into their plans to adapt to the unexpected.
Whether you’re leading a university, nonprofit, or private-sector organization, planning for an unpredictable future is about more than reaching a destination—it’s about equipping your team to thrive through change.
