Strategic PlanningIncluding Operational Plan w/ Hoshin Tools
Overview:This workshop provides an overview of a strategic planning process through divergent (blue-sky, creative) thinking to consensus on values/mission/vision, decision-making processes, board involvement, key actions, creation of an operational plan with a timeline, and assessment of "quick-hit" improvements. Hoshin techniques (from Japan) used in this process are practical tools to ground the planning to organizational metrics. NOTE: This workshop teaches the overview of how to do strategic planning effectively, including the important piece of being able to operationalize the plan, plus ground it in metrics. It does not allow a group to actually do strategic planning during the workshop, and is meant for groups to be able to do strategic planning after leaving the workshop. C4IOE can also provide consulting support after the workshop for strategic planning processes.Suggested Attendees:C-Level executives, Directors, Teams/Committees and Boards responsible for strategic direction and operational planning. This course is well-suited for businesses, government or non-profit organizations, and educational institutions. Why not send a team or a committee who is doing the planning for your organization.Objectives:
Length/Time:7.5 hours = 9:00am to 4:30pm | ||
