Why Plan with Emory Centers?

We will serve as a neutral convener to:

  • Ensure a common understanding of the purpose of the strategic action planning meeting and seek clarification where needed
  • Keep discussions focused on the planning process in a logical, time efficient manner
  • Maintain a safe climate for contributions by all and encourage participation by less vocal members
  • Uncover hidden or unpopular issues
  • Ensure that all assignments, deadlines and other expectations are understood

We will ensure that the plan aligns with:

  • Internal goals/objectives for your organization
  • The current evidence on high-impact public health strategies
  • Coordinated chronic disease program objectives

Through facilitated discussions during and after planning, participants will:

  • Learn from each other about how to successfully apply their knowledge.
  • Engage in discussions about WHY the principles are important and HOW they can be applied to the work that they do.
