Strategy is something many people think is a bit of a ‘dark art’, and only for those with MBAs. Others think they know how to do strategy well, but even they often find it difficult to translate it into operational activity. These views are very common.
In this two day workshop, you’ll explore what strategy is, what it should do, and how it can do it.
You’ll explore the use of frameworks to help you develop your strategy and familiarise yourself with some management tools to help you translate it into an operational plan.
By the end of the session you will have a good idea as to what your organisation's strategy should be, some frameworks to help you develop it with your team, and some tools to help you turn it into reality.
A good strategic planning process can unite, inspire, empower and engage. And it’s no ‘dark art’, anyone can do it well if shown how!
