Learn to use AI and possibilities thinking to reimagine strategic planning. A working summit for district leaders.
Reimagining Strategic Planning for School Districts

What if your next strategic plan started with possibility?
Most strategic planning processes are built on the assumptions of today. They ask leaders to project forward from what already exists, which means the plans that result tend to produce more of the same, when what children and communities need is something entirely new.
At the Possibilities Summit, you'll explore how possibilities thinking and AI together create a fundamentally different way to plan — grounded in your values, connected to your community, and built for the future your district is trying to build. Anchored in ASU's Principled Innovation® framework, you won't just learn to use AI. You'll learn to use it in a way that puts people first and drives real results.
What will participants learn at the Possibilities Summit?
- Distinguish between strategic planning that improves what exists and planning that reimagines what's possible
- Implement ASU's to keep students, families, and communities at the center of every strategic decision
- Use AI as a genuine planning tool, guided by the values and community context that define good decision-making
- Apply possibilities thinking as a disciplined leadership practice, not just a one-time exercise
- Ask better questions at the start of the planning process, so the plans that result are bolder, more grounded, and more durable
- Build team-wide alignment around a shared planning mindset, and apply it directly to your own district's strategic plan in real time
