Overview

During times of change and uncertainty, strategic planning and scenario planning are essential governance tools that boards and CEOs can use to anticipate risk, align decisions, and protect long‑term sustainability. Not only is strategic planning required by the Health Center Program, but it is also an important practice for ensuring the health center is sustainable and thriving now and into the future.

The 75-minute session will focus on:

• the role of the board in strategic planning,
• different strategic planning approaches,
• how boards can provide effective oversight by tracking key performance indicators, 
• adapting a plan to meet current needs, and
• how the use of scenario planning can help health centers remain nimble in a changing landscape. 

Registration Bonus! Extend the impact of this training with 30‑day access to the recording, so you can revisit the content at your convenience or view it with your full board to deepen collective learning.

Ideal for

Board members, board officers, CEOs, and staff that support boards
