Aims

This workshop assists those leading and organising strategic planning days wanting to make more effective use of their time, to set clear and achievable goals, promote increased staff participation and most important help to action planning day outcomes.

Key issues

Planning days are mandatory these days for most groups, teams, branches and agencies to develop new directions, build interpersonal relationships, develop teamwork and promote leadership. Planning days provide opportunities for workplaces to think and act strategically.

But ask yourself:  

  • Are you planning more and achieving less?

  • Are your planning days giving you and your team what they really need?

  • Are your planning days working for your team?

  • Are your planning days giving a real return for the investment of time and effort?

  • Are your planning days maximising benefits from having your entire team together?

  • Do you want to optimise this year's planning day by doing something new and different?

  • Do you want your team to take ownership of issues, be energised and
    highly motivated for change?

  • Do you want to resolve some real issues in your team?

  • Do you want to achieve a specific objectives from your planning day?

  • Are you going to have another planning day that costs much but achieves
    little?

Too often many planning days miss opportunities, waste valuable staff time, just go through the motions, fail to build teams or resolve major issues or to set future agendas. To avoid these problems and optimise your planning day then this new workshop is for you!

Methodology

Developed by facilitators who have assisted agencies to achieve particular goals and real outcomes from their planning days this workshop is very 'hands-on’ involving workshop participants doing sample exercises and activities to understand different planning day approaches and promote skill development to assist in the design the format of planning days that best meets team needs.

On completion participants should be able to:

  • Identify key planning day goals
  • Connect planning day format to key desired outcomes
  • Customise the planning day to meet your team’s special needs
  • Apply a range of proven management techniques to promote:
    • team participation
    • assess team needs
    • develop team goals
  • Set feasible short, medium and long term goals
  • Develop implementable action plans
  • Promote ownership of planning day outcomes
