Risk Management Lessons Learned 

​

Take a fresh perspective on your risk management program, as we transition to a new normal. For more ideas on how to do this, read Aether's article, "ERM Planning in a New Normal".  Contact us if you want to explore how Aether can work with your organization with post-Covid 19 risk analysis and planning.  Or join Ms. Ryan's virtual workshop on January 12, hosted by Northwest Public Power Association, titled "​Utility Risk Planning: Past, Present, and Future".

​

Developing Your Department’s Strategic Plan

​

Organizations find that corporate level strategic plans are far more successful when supported by, and executed through, department strategic planning. Further, strong department strategic planning better aligns workgroups to the utility’s vision, mission, and strategic goals, as department leaders can provide a critical line of sight for employees.

 

This class is offered through NWPPA and is designed so that attendees apply strategic planning principles to areas in which they have direct experience- their departments. 

 

Ms. Ryan also provides customized strategic planning to organizations through consulting and coaching services.  Contact us for more information about the regional classes or customized offerings. ​
