Highlights Calendar Icon Date de l'événement : 2024-07-24

This course examines the theory and practice of strategic planning and management with an emphasis on practical approaches to identifying and effectively addressing organizational challenges – and doing so in a way that makes systematic learning and evaluation possible. The approach engages evaluators much earlier in the process of organizational and programmatic design and change than is usual.

The following topics are covered:

  • Understanding why strategic planning has become so important
  • Understanding what strategic planning is – and is not
  • Gaining knowledge of the range of different strategic planning approaches
  • Understanding the Strategy Change Cycle
  • Gaining experience with key strategic planning tools and techniques, including stakeholder analysis, SWOT analyses, and causal mapping for purposes of understanding issues, developing strategies, and conducting evaluations
  • Knowing how to appropriately design formative, summative, and developmental evaluations of strategic planning processes, missions, strategies, and organizational performance

Recommended Audience:

The course is suitable for anyone wanting to know more about strategic planning theory and practice, including leaders, managers, board members, policymakers, and, of course, evaluators. Evaluation topics will include approaches to evaluating strategic planning processes for organizations and coalitions, missions, strategies, strategic plans, and performance.
