Strategic thinking and business planning are simple enough concepts, in theory at least. In practice, the process of starting with one and executing the other can be a complex management activity and a test of discipline across the business.
Project management concepts, frameworks and disciplines can be used to improve the effectiveness of your execution of these thinking and planning activities. This workshopexplores how to use them to your advantage.
This workshop is aimed at business owners and leaders with responsibility for turning strategy into effective action. It is designed both for those who are about to embark on a strategic thinking journey or are already en-route and want guidance and tools to enable them to effectively lead and manage the planning and execution effectively. It doesn’t require deep knowledge of either strategy or project management.
This workshop is aimed at SMEs. Please note that preference will be given to businesses based in Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
