Time is now a risk factor. Institutions can’t wait ten to twelve months to set direction. Core Education, a WAICU strategic partner, is launching its Modern Strategic Planning Practice—a bold, AI-integrated, outcome-focused approach that helps presidents, boards, and cabinets align fast, act decisively, and stay future-ready.

This Session is For:

• Presidents and board members seeking bold, actionable strategies.
• Cabinet leaders and strategy officers who want tools that drive clarity, speed, and unity.
• Institutions in transition—financially, politically, or structurally—ready to break from old models.

Why Attend

Many institutions are still using ten- to twelve-month planning processes that get delayed by analysis and consensus building and result in verbose documents, vague priorities, and limited execution.

Unlike traditional planning processes, Core’s model delivers a complete, campus-wide strategic blueprint in ninety days. It is fast, focused, and execution-ready—strategy as a transformation engine.

Why Now

• Disruption is permanent. Political shifts, funding cuts, and AI are here to stay.
• AI is a force multiplier. Institutions using it for input, insight, and acceleration will lead.
• Adaptability wins. The institutions that thrive will be the ones that plan smarter and move faster.

What You Will Take Away

• A proven, ninety-day strategic planning framework built for speed and action.
• AI-powered tools: strategy builder, dashboard templates, and a real-time SWOT checklist.
• Confidence to lead change—grounded in real examples, benchmarks, and implementation strategies used nationwide.
