Help, I’m Drowning! – How to Advocate for More Resources at Your Organization

posted on March 17, 2016

Are you buried in an avalanche of work on a daily basis? How can you go about advocating for more resources?

In this session, you’ll learn how to create winning proposals that clearly outline the benefits of adding more staff members to your team. From utilizing basic “if this, then that” concepts to exploring a full-blown three year strategy for growth, we’ll discuss various ways to present a mission-focused plan that shows direct benefits to your organization. Additionally, we’ll cover implementation, execution, and fulfillment using data and analytics to ensure that your plan delivers on its promises.

In the first half of the session, Jen will reveal how she grew a database department to three staff members and launched a new digital department. The second half will be a workshop-type format to discuss challenges within the group and how to overcome them. Come prepared to share your frustrations and walk away with exciting ideas to lighten your load!
