Building a Platform to Drive Success in Organizations - 2017

Building a Platform to Drive Success in Organizations Workshop

Presented by Dr Richard Schooler, D.O., Dean, School of Health Sciences – Missouri Southern State University

 

Missouri Southern State University Criminal Justice Auditorium - 3950 Newman Road, Joplin, MO

 

2 p.m. registration

2:30-4:30 p.m. program

 

Fee: $20/person

Presented by: Small Business Technology & Development Center and Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce

 

 

A commitment to Leadership Development is a common practice in high performing organizations.

I am the Dean of the School of Health Sciences at MSSU. Prior to accepting this position, I practiced medicine for 19 years, then served the past 12 years as a healthcare executive for Freeman Health System in Joplin, Missouri. Last year I wrote a book entitled, “Planning for Organizational Success – A Leadership Guide to Achieving Success with a Plan” (Dorrance Publishing). The book presents an approach to strategic planning that focuses on not just how to write a plan, but on how to achieve success with a plan. Organizational strategic planning is an important leadership skill. Unfortunately, it is a practice that is often underutilized. Leaders are hesitant to commit to the process due to a history of previous strategic planning efforts being expensive and resource-consuming with lackluster results that were not sustained.

 

The concept of “Planning for Organizational Success” and my presentation, is that a well written plan should be much more than just a plan. If leadership sees the planning process as building a platform to drive success in their organization, understands the value of the process, and focuses on achieving success as a result of the plan rather than just focusing on writing a plan, a strategic plan really can become a dynamic force that drives success in your organization.
