David Barrett

Strategic planning is now a part of the PMI’s Talent Triangle - now identified as a critical component to our current and future roles.   However, reading and hearing is one thing but how many of us are in a position to practice strategic planning and execution?  ALL OF US.  

This session will show us how strategic planning is a key to our success at work but, as well, to our careers and our lives.   We will learn how to create a solid plan for any of the three legs and we will leave with the start to our own Professional Strategic Plans.

Key Outcomes: 

• Education on strategic planning and execution
• Inspiration on applying this important knowledge and skill to all here legs of our own lives 
• Key take-aways to encourage us to think about applying all of this to our jobs, our careers and our lives.
