Have you ever planned a surprise party or
wedding? Planning for future events is fun and
exciting. The objective is to have a good time in
the future. Companies plan for future events as
well. They call it strategic planning. The purpose
is to have a business plan which results in a
successful future outcome.
Your KCIFMA Chapter is looking forward to a
bright future. So guess what? We are starting a
strategic planning process. Development of our
strategic plan will follow an outline used by
IFMA’s Corporate Office. Their strategic plan is
integrated with a balanced scorecard.
The strategic planning process involves several
steps. These steps include; pre-meeting
preparation, strategic analysis, situation analysis,
plan development, balanced scorecard, and plan
implementation. All this may be more than you
did while planning your last party; however, the
results are the same. KCIFMA’s plan will
produce a good time for our members, enhanced
educational programs, spectacular events and
superior services for our members.
Currently the Kansas City Chapter is forming a
strategic planning team. This team will be made
up of officers, committee chairs, and some new
and senior members. The wider the experience of
the team, the better the outcome will be.
If you would like to be a part of planning the
future of KCIFMA, I encourage you to become a
member of the strategic planning team. Planning
the future will be a thrilling and educational
experience for all. To join this elite team, contact
Vice President Andrew Knutson,
May all of you have a bright future.
