Strategic Planning Workshop

About the Course

This programme develops a working approach to strategic planning workshop in the context of management priorities and execution. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on objectives, strategic initiatives and review cycle. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.

Course Objectives

• Explain the role of objectives and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
• Use a structured worksheet to examine strategic initiatives and compare reasonable alternatives.
• Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to review cycle.
• Prepare a decision brief with responsibilities and performance measures for discussion with a manager and team.
• Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.
