Why is Strategic Planning Important?
Developing strategy is an art and a discipline. It demands creative, out-of-the-box thinking and the capability to formulate, execute and monitor a strategic plan.
In essence, strategic planning is about getting your team, department, business unit to where it needs to be to successfully contribute to organisational objectives. It provides a structured approach to decision-making and goal setting. A well-crafted strategic plan not only guides day-to-day operations, but encourages agility, enabling organisations to adapt to an evolving business landscape.
Ultimately, strategic planning is about creating a roadmap for success, enabling sustainable growth.
This strategic planning course takes you right through the strategic planning process with practical tools and techniques for every stage to enhance your strategic thinking and planning skills.
