Strategy and planning

It’s often hard to get agreement on what we mean by strategy, never mind what your organisation’s strategy should be! We bring a flexible range of proven approaches to support managers, trustees and boards, including:

• Strategic, operational and business planning
• Board, management and team away days
• Specialist experience in outcome-based planning
• Up to date tools to support the resource-based view of strategy (including knowledge management)
• Adaptable methods including logic modelling; scenario planning; creative problem solving techniques; systems approaches; environmental/stakeholder/market analysis; balanced scorecards and so on.

Contact us if you’d like to speak to someone who not only finds this stuff interesting, but can help others to do so too!

This is evidenced by the Trustees being able to make significant strategic decisions concerning the Trusts’ future, based on discussion and debate had during the Away Day.” James MacBain, Chief Executive, Royal Caledonian Education Trust
