Strategic planning & organizational strategy

Strategic planning is an opportunity to evaluate and prioritize resources so your institution can optimize its strengths and achieve its goals. Using social intelligence to gather the data improves the value and relevance of the environmental and marketing scanning that’s at the foundation of every successful plan.

It allows you to learn from organic community conversations and assess market trends so you continually refine your strategic planning efforts to inform and align your program development, student success initiatives, and alumni or donor engagement.
