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

Date: Wednesday, August 23, 2023

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description: Strategic planning is a routine part of library leadership,
but what if you took the ordinary planning process and made it
transformative? Learn how one library system developed a strategic plan to
live by using the Harwood approach and leveraging staff and community
input, creating data-driven measures of achievement and powerful outcomes,
and engaging staff at all levels to take ownership. This panel presentation
will include staff from the strategic planning process who will share
success stories from PLS's strategic planning process, tips on how to craft
your own strategic plan to impact your community, and ways in which staff
from the administrator to frontline 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.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

   -

   Create their own data-driven strategic plan unique to their community.
   -

   Identify partners and stakeholders to help build, implement, and carry
   out the goals of the strategic plan.
   -

   Establish ways to measure impact and analyze results of the strategic
   plan.

   -

   Tell the library's story through the strategic planning process.
