Target Audience
Middle and Senior Managers, Board Members.
Outline
A strategy is about how an organisation best positions itself whilst remaining relevant. A good strategy is clear and succinct. It boldly sets out your organisation's ambitions, sets a clear focus aimed at achieving your mission, and it is embedded in reality.
This Strategic Planning workshop will guide you through core elements of strategy: challenge, cohesion and commitment. It will look at approaches and models in conducting strategic analysis, examining options, building in agility and how to monitor implementation.
Step-by-step, you will learn what a strategic planning process involves, what tools and techniques can help you along the way, what the end result should look like, and how to get everyone on board.
Methodology
Delivered virtually via Zoom.
