Advance your strategic design work in hours instead of months.

‍Vision and Strategy is a three-day workshop designed to support schools in clarifying their vision and setting action priorities.  

This workshop will give schools a chance to try new frameworks and approaches that buck the trend of traditional strategic-planning processes. This workshop is for schools early on in your strategic thinking, and it will provide time to build understanding, shape choices, and gain alignment on your articulated vision. Workshop attendees will leave with a strategic story deck to clearly communicate a possible future direction and build momentum and buy-in with stakeholders.

Topics Covered

• Redefining why your school exists
• Diagnosing your greatest obstacles
• Clarifying your beliefs and aligning on a bold direction
• Outlining strategic priorities and next steps

‍

Lead Facilitators

• Morva McDonald, Vice President of Leadership and Governance, NAIS
• Brenda Cram, Senior Project Strategist, NAIS
• Jackie Wolking, Director of Innovation Programs, NAIS
