STRATEGIC PLANNING – OPTIMISING THE PLANNING PROCESS
Join Charlene Harvey as she explores how to design a robust planning process that will support your strategic planning. We know the pace of change, growing stakeholder expectations and limited budgets, make strategic planning more difficult than ever. This is why a planning process that adds value to your organisation’s forecasting, strategic goals, and resourcing is essential.
Join the discussion
Charlene will discuss some of the key elements to consider when designing or involved in planning processes. She will cover topics such as:
- Common pitfalls
- Options for optimising the planning process
- The outcomes of a robust planning process.
Together we can share ideas and experiences that will help us all improve our planning for the year ahead.
