Brief Overview: Uncertainty happens! Many organizations have been in a situation where they felt unprepared and were unsure how to adapt or adjust quickly to something new. Funding cuts, tragedy in your community, or news that changes quickly. This session will cover adaptation principles and specific strategies such as contingency planning. Participants will learn to apply the contingency planning process to adjust programs, budgets or mindsets, and they will learn from each other.

Agency teams are strongly encouraged to attend to get the most from the session, and to have their own challenge to work with during the sessions.

Audience: This is an Advanced Level training and is designed for people who are able to help make change at their agency to help them design a plan for their specific needs.
