Change is the one constant facing today’s organizations. Changes are the norm in the issues being addressed, in the programmatic approaches proven to be effective, in the sources and amount of funding available, and in the larger political and organizational contexts in which organizations operate.
Conducting timely and focused strategic planning efforts is the most effective way for organizations to stay on top of the changes in their world and refine their programs and priorities as the times demand.
