Course Overview

Most problems can be eased by working harder, tightening existing procedures and finding new efficiencies. However, the best solutions and the biggest opportunities often lie in rethinking and clarifying our objectives and the circumstances in which we operate. To really make a difference with complex, challenging and enduring problems, where our attempts so far have not resolved the difficulties, we need to think and plan strategically. The success of any strategic planning depends crucially on the quality of our analysis. To be confident that we are setting ourselves up well to resolve problems, we need to frame them productively; identify and prioritise the relevant stakeholders; collect the information we require (not letting people who are ‘incensed and articulate’ drown out quieter voices); and distil and prioritise the insights we need to drive our problem-solving. Otherwise, we risk undermining our strategic planning, perhaps solving the wrong problem altogether! This course demonstrates a reliable, robust approach to high-quality strategic analysis. It is highly interactive and engaging, to help you apply the skills and techniques confidently to your particular circumstances.
