Speaker: Joe Murphy, MLIS, MBA, MS Foresight
Joe will conduct a workshop geared specifically for special librarians that provides attendees with practical skills and methods to research, plan, and create futures that increase the value their organizations create. Foresight combines research, strategy, and execution to increase the heads-up time you can give your boss before stuff hits the fan. Its methods also increase stakeholders confidence in its continued success and stability. Not predictions, nor astrology, the methods of Strategic Foresight that Joe will share are rigorous, research-driven and tied to practical functioning, planning, and operations. He will share a few of the most impactful of a master's degree-worth of techniques that have been put through the forge of an MBA and refined in real-world projects. Attendees will leave the event equipped with a better handle on their organizations' future and how to explore it systematically. The workshop will focus 100% on (and be accountable for) delivering useful skills.
