What you’ll learn in this programme
The Strategic Planning for Managers programme is delivered as a 2 day course, either in person or virtually, depending on your organisation’s needs.
This course helps managers step back from day to day pressures and focus on the bigger picture. Managers learn how to define a clear vision, set meaningful objectives, and create practical plans that guide their teams toward longer term goals.
The programme takes a structured yet practical approach. Managers explore the purpose of strategic planning, how to assess their current situation, and how to translate strategy into clear priorities and actions. Emphasis is placed on involving teams in the planning process to build understanding and commitment.
Learning is based on real workplace examples rather than theory alone. Managers work through realistic scenarios and consider how strategic thinking applies to their own departments and responsibilities.
The content is tailored to your organisation’s context, ensuring managers leave with a clearer sense of direction and practical steps they can develop further after the course.
