Leadership

Planning and Organizational Strategy for Public Sector Employees

Building Your Organization's Capabilities for Creating and Executing Its Strategic Plan

Overview

Do you know if your agency’s strategic planning process is effective? Does your current strategic plan provide a widely used blueprint for organizational achievement? Does it include the provision of resources to execute the strategy or outline effective measures of progress? If you answer "no" to any of these questions, this program is for you. It will help you reengineer your organization’s strategic plan, and move it from the bookshelf to the desktop. You will learn how to build your organization’s capacity for strategic change so it can continue to achieve its visions long after you are gone.

The Federal Executive Institute is proud to announce that Dr. Michael Barzelay, Reader in Public Management at the London School of Economics, will be presenting this program. He is the author (with Colin Campbell) of Preparing for the Future: Strategic Planning in the U.S. Air Force, published by the Brookings Institution Press, which received the National Academy of Public Administration’s 2004 Louis Brownlow Book Award. Dr. Barzelay’s presentation is a lively mix of case studies revealing the success that is possible, graphic lectures focused on the newest ideas, short films of actual participants, and much class discussion.
