About the Course
Organizations that translate strategic intent into a disciplined, resourced plan consistently outperform those that treat strategy as an annual document exercise. Yet many institutions struggle to move from vision statements to an actionable, monitored strategic plan, particularly amid the resource-reallocation pressure many organizations are experiencing as a defining strategic challenge.
This programme builds practical strategic-planning capability: environmental scanning, strategy formulation, plan structuring, resourcing and cascading strategic objectives into departmental and individual plans. Participants use established strategic-planning tools including SWOT, PESTLE, scenario planning and strategy maps.
Participants leave with a complete strategic plan structure for their own institution, including a strategy map, resourced implementation plan and a monitoring framework they can adapt and present to leadership.
Target Participants
Strategic planning officers and managers, Executives and senior managers, Programme and project managers, Government and NGO planning departments, and Board members and governance officers.

- Formulate strategic objectives aligned to organizational mission.
