Strategic Planning Workshop in Australia
Wednesday 28 November 2007
The Australian Strategic Planning Institute is holding another one day Strategic Planning Workshop on the 12th of December. Strategic Futurist Marcus Barber will join Maree Conway and Steven Bowman in explaining the critical stages of the Strategic Planning process; highlight the traps that catch far too many organisations and detail the key processes used to develop effective and organisationally useful Strategic Plans. The workshop will also run a targeted Q&A session that will allow participants to have a specific question about their organisation's Strategic Planning process to be addressed. Details can be found
at The Australian Strategic Planning Institute's website. Bookings are essential for this highly targeted one day workshop on the 12th of December. The venue is 'Karstens at CQ' in Queen St, Melbourne
