Executive Abstract: Mapping the Future of Your Association–A Complimentary Copy Is Now Available Online!
Mapping The Future Of Your Association Eight Super-Trends
In a recent online survey of strategic practices used by associations, less than three percent of the 459 respondents reported using planning horizons of 10 years or more. Nearly two-thirds reported horizons of two years at most. In other words, “strategic planning” is rapidly giving way to “strategic evolution.”
In 2005, to assist association executives in preparing for and dealing with strategic evolution, ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership carried on their tradition of conducting a periodic environmental scan of the business environment. The goal: to identify strategic trends that affect the association community.
This abstract will give you a snapshot of eight super-trends in eight environmental sectors that are impacting associations. These trends are broad over-arching developments shaping the future of our members, our associations and our world.
Download your complimentary copy of the abstract by clicking here.
If you are interested in a customized presentation on future trends for your Board, volunteer leaders or staff, e-mail scan@asaenet.org.
