ACC: Strategies for Multi-Site Briefing Programs Outline

Expanding a briefing program to include multiple center locations is a goal for most program teams and it’s one that, ideally, is thoughtfully planned based on business and program strategy. This workshop will explore whether to build additional centers; where to build; managing growth; funding, organizational and operational considerations; critical success factors, and measuring the success of the multi-center program. In addition, we will discuss how to integrate existing locations that are not part of the briefing program. ‘Multi-Site Briefing Program Strategies’ is a big and important topic! 
 
Who Should Attend
Managers and Business Planners considering expanding their briefing program beyond the Corporate EBC. This may include multiple sites within and/or outside the USA.
