    Strategic Planning

    SKU: 1208370 Categories: , ,

    If you and the people who work with you don’t understand where the company is going, they may all develop their own priorities and actually prevent you from getting where you need to be. Part of getting everyone on board is creating a strategic plan complete with the organization’s values, vision, and mission. Then, there’s the challenge of bringing these principles to life in a meaningful way that people can relate to. This two-day course will help you describe what you want to do and get people where you want to go.

    You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.

    Understanding Strategic Planning

    Then, participants will explore what strategic planning is. They will also be introduced to the pyramid strategic plan structure that will form the basis of the rest of the course.

    Identifying Our Values

    Next, participants will work through the foundation of a strategic plan: value identification and writing values statements.

    Designing Our Vision

    The next step in a strategic plan is to identify your vision. In this session, participants will think about where they want their company to be in several years’ time.

    On a Mission

    The next part of the strategic plan is to write a mission statement. That’s what participants will focus on in this session.

    Performing  a SWOT Analysis

    In this session, participants will learn how to use a SWOT analysis to identify where they currently are and what they need to do to get where they want to go.

    Setting Goals

    Next, participants will learn how to use the SPIRIT model to frame goals and objectives.

    Assigning Roles, Responsibilities, and Accountabilities

    The final piece of the strategic plan gets at the heart of getting the work done by assigning who will address each role and what they are accountable for. This session will give participants some ways to perform this step. They will also get hands-on problem solving practice through a case study.

    The Full Picture

    Participants will begin the second day with a snapshot of the strategic planning cycle and a review activity.

    Gathering Support

    In this session, participants will look at gathering support for a plan, creating a review process, and obtaining buy-in.

    Making the Change

    Strategic plans naturally become harbingers of change. This session will give participants some ways to help people transition through that change.

    How Does It Look?

    Next, participants will look at some different ways to present their strategic plan. Infographics, reports, and presentations will all be discussed.

    Getting There

    This session will explore what problems can occur during the strategic planning process and how to deal with them. Security considerations will also be discussed. The session will wrap up with an introduction to strategy maps and balanced scorecards.

    Mocking Up the Process

    The course will conclude with an in-depth capping exercise to help participants apply what they have learned to either their organization or a fictional company.

    Virtual Room

    Delivering traditional onsite training results …virtually!

    We’ve officially changed the rules and redefined what is possible in the world of soft skills learning. Our unique technology, accompanied by honed delivery methodology, have successfully replicated the traditional classroom-style training environment, allowing it to exist online.

    Most online training solutions limit participants’ responses to keystrokes or to single person conversations because -with inferior technology- group discussions become distorted and confusing to follow.  Our Virtual Room has eliminated those barriers and encourages learning through meaningful instructor feedback, skills modelling and engaging group discussion, without visual or audio distortion

    The Virtual Room is for any organization seeking a flexible substitute to traditional onsite training; whether to lower costs, eliminate unnecessary travel or to simply ease the burden of demanding work schedules.

    Lunch & Learn

    A Lunch and Learn session is an onsite or virtual learning program with a facilitator-led session sharing valuable information and skills on an area of identified learning interest.  It’s a great break away from a traditional training program, allowing your team the opportunity to learn while enjoying their lunch. Due to the limited time, the program focuses on specific learning concepts and skills.   It is an interactive session that quickly targets and reveals learning objectives that are predetermined by the training organizer.   Lunch & Learn sessions are also great as a training series, providing progressive learning programs for developing skills in a ‘bite-sized’ format.
