Our Strategic Business Planning course teaches participants an effective strategic planning process that shows participants how to craft a clear, compelling strategic plan for their organization. Participants will:
- Understand their market, their place in it, and how they compete versus others
- Set direction through clear articulation of vision, mission, and strategic filters
- Define their organization’s current and desired future state
- Clearly articulate the organization’s core competencies
- Define a prioritized set of strategic filters to evaluate strategic initiatives
- Inventory, evaluate, prioritize, and sequence initiatives to support their strategy
- Allocate resources to initiatives based on priority and need
- Package their work into a compelling strategic plan
The program is pragmatic in that participants learn the strategic planning method while simultaneously applying it to their real-world business needs. The target audience for this course is the leadership team of a business, business unit, or organization or individuals in roles that require them to define their organization’s strategy. The benefits of this course are:
- Participants learn a strategic planning process they can replicate each year thereby making their plans more compelling and rigorous with less effort than ad hoc planning efforts
- An efficient means of gathering and processing key inputs for strategic planning
- Better strategic alignment, prioritization, and resource allocation
- Clarity and focus which eliminates low value initiatives and drives critical ones
