Capacity Building Workshop – Strategic Planning
Details
A clear and practical strategic plan acts as a roadmap, guiding an organisation from where it is now to where it wants to be. It helps set priorities, focus resources, and align the team around shared goals.
This workshop supports community groups in understanding the planning process and the importance of thoughtful preparation to avoid distractions and mission drift. Participants will explore why strategic planning matters, when to revisit the vision, and how to engage members and stakeholders effectively. The session also covers gathering evidence to inform direction, linking strategy to action, and building a workable framework, including how to cost the plan for successful implementation. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to develop and implement a strategic plan that drives their organisation forward with clarity and purpose.
Topics include:
• Understanding why a strategic plan is needed
• Knowing when it is time to ‘re-vision’
• Appreciating the purpose for the members / clients
• Understanding stakeholder mapping
• Finding evidence to support direction
• Relating strategy to delivery; not leaving the plan on the shelf
• Preparing the framework for the plan
• Costing the plan
This is a free event.
