Libraries are an important part of the fabric of American society, and yet they too are under considerable threat in a changing and uncertain world. So how can libraries and their leaders change the rules of the game and create a brighter future? The answers will be found in fresh approaches to crafting strategy and organizing for innovation. This high-impact session will examine the emerging realities of the world in which libraries operate, explore the "next" principles of meaningful strategy-making and explain the opportunities and demands of instilling a discipline of innovation. If you're interested in building a stronger, more capable and more resilient library, you can't afford to miss this powerful learning experience! Bring a team from your library and begin to build an innovation agenda.

This program is sponsored in part through an Institute of Museum and Library Services LSTA grant awarded by the State Library of Ohio.
