Define Clarity

Six Essential Strategic Questions for Every Association Leader

Published by Indiana Society of Association Executives
and Kentucky Society of Association Executives
Learning Objectives
  • Defining the six critical questions that drive strategic clarity and alignment for associations
  • Exploring how strategy is the action and decisions that undergird our strategic plans
  • Drafting initial answers to the six essential questions to build your own foundation for strategic clarity and alignment
  • Simplifying strategic decision-making by using the six questions as a filter for priorities and actions





Summary

Many associations and organizations have a strategic plan but lack the clarity needed to support it fully. Strategic clarity acts as the foundation for a successful plan—like the plate on which the entrees are served.

In this webinar, Mark will explore six critical questions every association must answer to achieve alignment and focus:
• Why do we exist?
• How will we behave?
• What do we do? (What business are we in?)
• How will we succeed? (Our three strategic anchors.)
• What is most important right now? (Our short-term rallying cry.)
• Who will do what?


Even seemingly simple questions can reveal diverse answers within an organization, leading to misalignment and inefficiency. These questions are drawn from Patrick Lencioni’s organizational health model and are designed to help leadership teams find alignment and drive success.
