Through these past few months of uncertainty, business owners have been incredibly creative in adapting to the global situation, reacting quickly to continue operations safely amidst new restrictions. With the landscape constantly evolving, decisions are often led by instinct in the moment, but may not be sustainable in the long term. As we work towards reopening fully, we may be considering adjusting our business model, transitioning our products/services, or targeting new markets we've never considered before. Changes of this magnitude need a solid strategy behind them to guide future decision-making, to ensure that objectives are clear, and to reduce the stress caused by operating solely in survival mode. Please join us for this free workshop with Workfactors to learn some strategic planning tools that you can put to work for your business at this critical time.

By end of talk, participants will be able to:

• Summarize the relationship between a business plan and a strategic plan.
• Define and discuss the Five Questions of Strategic Planning.
• Conduct a preliminary assessment of their business using the Five-Box Strategy Blueprint TM to guide calibration efforts.
