The Oklahoma Museums Association in partnership with the Oklahoma Historical Records Advisory Board is pleased to offer a Strategic Planning 101 Workshop on August 7 from 10am-3pm on the topic of creating a basic strategic plan.
This workshop is being offered before the new Oklahoma Heritage Preservation Grant Program cycle begins to give your organization time to complete a Strategic Plan, as that is one of the criteria in order to apply for the grant.
At the Strategic Planning 101 workshop presented by Ken Busby, you will learn
- valuing strategic planning
- understanding the strategic plan lifecycle
- discussing mission, purpose, and vision statements
- utilizing SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats)
- determining where you are as an organization
- gathering information including asking what your organization does well, what your organization can improve upon, and what your organization’s dream is for itself
- looking at outside influencers
- setting priorities, goals, and action steps
- budgeting for your strategic plan
- implementing your strategic plan
- evaluating your strategic plan
In addition to the above, participants who have already completed a preservation assessment should bring this document with them to the workshop to learn how to incorporate it into a strategic plan.
The workshop will conclude with a few tips on how to write a competitive Oklahoma Heritage Preservation Grant, including a review of the grant weighted criteria.
Apply for a scholarship to attend the workshop here. Deadline to apply is July 19.
