Outline
How do you move from launching your strategic plan to ensuring effective implementation? This workshop will bring a mix of theory, best practice and practical steps on how to implement. You don't have to have a shiny strategic plan to attend – this workshop will support people interested in how to turn words into positive outcomes.
This workshop will break down the steps to implement your organisation's strategic plan effectively. Participants will be given best practice examples to illustrate how each implementation step can be approached. Participants can, if they wish, bring their Strategic Plan with them to use for group work.
This workshop introduces essential internal planning and reporting framework that will help align your work and your organisation's work with its strategic goals. Applicable to all levels in an organisation i.e., anyone who is passionate about maximising their productivity and focusing their work will have something to gain by coming along.
