SUMMARY:All Strategy or All Smoke: Knowing if Your Strategic Plan Can Withstand the Fire
DESCRIPTION:Strategic plans are often celebrated at launch but fade when tested by the real challenges of school and district leadership. Too many plans read like wish lists—heavy on initiatives but light on strategy—and struggle to withstand the demands of complexity\, fiscal constraints\, and competing priorities. \nIn this interactive session\, school leaders will learn how to determine whether their strategy is built to last or destined to burn out. Drawing on more than 15 years of experience as a principal\, turnaround leader\, district executive\, and strategy consultant\, Jennifer Reid Davis of Davis Solutions Group will share a practical framework for pressure-testing strategy across five critical dimensions: clarity of problem definition\, values alignment\, fiscal responsibility\, complexity-readiness\, and measurable impact. \nThrough case studies and interactive activities\, participants will identify blind spots\, examine leadership mindsets\, and leave with actionable diagnostic tools and templates they can immediately use with their teams. \nREGISTER TODAY! \n
