Strategic Planning

This course looks at strategic planning in order to achieve results. It is an ideal introduction to the process of clearly identifying where the organisation is going, what the key milestones will be over the course of the journey, how to identify the critical success factors and measure performance and progress towards the various goals.

We also look at the inclusion of the team in the planning process, how to consult and obtain input from them and the importance of linking individual objectives to the overall aims of the organisation.

Who should attend:

This is an excellent workshop for managers new to the concept of business and strategy planning, as well as for those who wish to refresh their skills in this important area. It also provides an ideal way of enabling an entire management team or department to start the actual planning process.

Course outcomes:

The workshop provides a structure and process for looking at strategy planning and is much a facilitated process in some circumstances as it is a training course. 

If a department or management team have attended, then good progress should have been made towards identifying and agreeing the "Business Vision", the refining of this into the "Mission" for the next twelve months, the identification of milestones to be achieved and the critical success factors applicable.

Teaching methods:

There will be a mixture of theoretical input from the tutor along with experiential learning and group discussion.
