Use the library strategic plan to guide programming decisions.
Lu Bangura helps you use the library strategic plan to guide programming decisions.
Join Lu Bangura for an interactive one-hour webinar designed for library professionals who want to make stronger connections between their programming and their organization’s strategic priorities. This session will provide a practical approach for using the strategic plan as more than a guiding document and turning it into a useful tool for programming decisions.
In this webinar, you'll discover:
- Practical ways to connect existing and proposed programs to strategic priorities
- Questions to help determine whether programs are still meeting their intended purpose
- A simple framework for deciding when programs should be continued, expanded, redesigned, or retired
- Approaches for considering community needs alongside organizational priorities
- Ways to think beyond attendance when evaluating and communicating program success
Through practical examples and guided discussion, participants will explore how programming can become one of the clearest ways a library puts its strategic plan into action. Whether your library is implementing a new strategic plan or trying to strengthen the connection between an existing plan and day-to-day programming, you'll leave with practical tools and questions you can use with your team to make more intentional programming decisions.
