Course description: The Visioning & Strategic Planning course gives court leaders and managers the tools they need to develop a vision and achieve goals using strategic planning. Court leaders often assume that the vision and mission of a court are self-evident and that the process of achieving consensus for a vision is a waste of time. This course demonstrates that having a vision and a strategic plan is an effective way to define priorities and allocate limited court resources.
As a result of participating in this course, participants will be able to: Examine court performance issues from a strategic perspective. Discuss the importance of encouraging strategic thinking and decision-making at every level of the organization. Apply the techniques involved in strategic planning, including developing mission and vision statements, and goals and action plans. Discuss the leadership, teamwork, and organizational foundations that are required to create and implement a strategic plan. Draft a plan for implementing a visioning and strategic planning process in their own court.
