About this Event

Key Learnings:

After the session the participants will …

  • have learned about good practice in terms of strategic planning
  • have practical examples of where strategic planning processes have worked well
  • have a chance to think about what might be best for their organisation by working with peers during the session.

The strategic plan tells the world what an organisation will be striving for over a set period of time. The development of a plan is the chance for an organisation to reflect and work out how to develop its work in the future to achieve the best possible impact for the individuals and communities it is working with and for. For boards, CEOs and senior leaders of organisations, it can seem a pretty daunting task. In striving for perfection, strategic planning processes get out of hand. They become huge pieces of work, that absorb lots of energy and resources that the organisation could be using elsewhere.

This session will be a chance for leaders to think about strategic planning. It will include a presentation on good practice in strategic planning from Dr. Jude Turbyne, CEO of Children in Scotland, followed by an interactive session where participants can explore ideas with their peers.
