Strategy and planning

It’s often hard to get agreement on what we mean strategy means, never mind what your organisation’s strategy should be! We bring a flexible range of proven approaches to support managers, trustees and boards, grounded in a solid understanding of management theory but brought to life by our uniquely accessible approach:

• Strategic, operational and business planning
• Strategic reviews and stakeholder consultations
• Board, management and team away days
• Specialist experience in outcome-based planning
• Up to date tools and a comprehensive suite of tailored resources

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
