Core Webinar: Best of Core at Annual Conference; A Strategic Plan to Live By

ϲʿapp

CHICAGO–Core hosts the webinar “Best of Core at Annual Conference: A Strategic Plan to Live By” on August 23, 2023, at 1 p.m. CT. Strategic planning is a routine part of library leadership, but what if the ordinary planning process was made transformative? Learn how one library system developed a strategic plan to live by using the Harwood approach to leverage staff and community input, create data-driven measures of achievement and powerful outcomes and engage staff at all levels to take ownership. This panel presentation will include staff from the strategic planning process who will share success stories from Pioneer Library System's strategic planning process, tips on how to craft your own strategic plan to impact your community, and ways that staff, from administrators to frontline workers, can lead and accomplish organizational goals. Learn how one document can help tell your library’s story, help streamline budgeting and empower staff at all levels. Discover partners in and outside your organization who will help implement and carry out this plan beyond the walls of the library.
