Seminar How to Write a Strategic Plan That Drives Performance A strategy is the means by which an organisation 'wins' and is successful. A strategic plan lays out in some detail, the way an organisation or business unit is going to compete and be successful. This essential ingredient is absent in most 'strategic' or 'business' plans. This makes such documents purely operational plans, at best, and vacuous nonsense, at worst. This one-day seminar has been designed to show you how to avoid these outcomes by covering the key elements in creating and writing a successful strategic plan. Learn How To: Lead strategic change in your organisation Identify and promote strategic thinking Employ a streamlined system to develop strategy Turn strategy into action Link your strategic plan to your income statement Next Seminars in 2009 Brisbane Oct 8 Perth Oct 15 Sydney Oct 22 Melbourne Oct 29 Delegates Comments "The most informative and intellectually stimulating day I have had all year.
