February, 2020 The Art of Strategic Managment Keynote: Jeff De Cagna, FRSA, FASAE
Jeff is an author, speaker and advisor for associations and non-profit organizations across North America and around the world. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (UK) and a Fellow of ASAE: The Center for Association Leadership. Jeff served on the ASAE Board of Directors from 2007-2010, serves as immediate past chair of ASAE’s Key Consultants Committee and as a member of the ASAE 2020 Centennial Task Force.
This keynote is about Why Strategy and Foresight are Not the Same Thing: Associations need both strategy and foresight, and while these two types of essential learning are clearly connected, they are not the same thing. In this century's third decade--the very challenging Turbulent Twenties--it is critical for association decision-makers to develop a clearer understanding of both strategy and foresight, how they are related, how they are different and how to maximize the benefit of both.
