Overview

People recognise the importance of strategic planning but are often simply ticking the box rather than really considering how the strategic plan is developed and deployed. This workshop unlocks the benefits of strategic planning by introducing tools to help participants develop a strategic plan by more effectively applying strategic planning tools to their strategic analysis, and then deploy the plan by using key performance indicators to focus and communicate their strategy and link it to their operating plans. The aim of this workshop is to assist participants to develop a strategic plan that is right for their organisation and can be used and implemented – turning their strategies into actions.
