Strategic Thinking: Driving Long-Term Success (05/21 - 05/22)

Tue, 21 May 2013 08:00:00 -0400

DESCRIPTION:

Every organization must formulate its objectives and priorities and then determine how to achieve them. Doing so requires not only investments in people, processes, and organizational structure, but also in the analysis of trade-offs because resources are limited. Strategic thinking requires leadership to look for external and internal changes and trends that may call for adjusting the strategy.

Inside the Executive Branch (06/03 - 06/05)

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:00:00 -0400

DESCRIPTION:

Policymaking on Capitol Hill is only one part of the equation. Congress regularly enacts vague legislation, which leaves addressing policy details to the discretion of Executive Branch agencies. Rules, regulations, Executive Orders, and a variety of other mechanisms have a significant impact on an organization’s bottom line, be it public or private. Another key element of the policy process is the agenda set by the White House, whether formally through the budget or informally via the bully pulpit.
