CHICAGO—91´«Ã½ Publishing eLearning Solutions announces an exciting new workshop, with Catherine Hakala-Ausperk. This workshop will last 90 minutes and take place at 2:30pm Eastern/1:30 Central/12:30 Mountain/11:30am Pacific on Wednesday, May 23, 2018.

People often approach strategic planning as if it’s compulsory—a bureaucratic task that needs to be checked off of a list to satisfy the desires of a manager or a board. But if you focus on the people and not just the process, you can create a plan that is both motivating and successful.

In this workshop, library management and strategic planning expert Catherine Hakala-Ausperk offers tips and strategies on everything from who should be involved to what your finished plan should look like. She discusses how you can use strategic planning to stay current, enhance your library services, and more effectively serve your patrons.
