Webinar – Strategic Planning & Operations: Because Truth is Stranger than Fiction

“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory, tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” This philosophy was written by Sun Tzu in The Art of War over 2500 years ago and it still applies today. You need both strategy and operations.

This webinar will explore myths of strategic planning and help attendees sort truth from fiction. It will discuss why strategic planning is still important and relevant to nonprofits and how operations are often the missing link to a successfully implemented plan.
