Course Summary

Business planning is an essential management tool that enables an organisation to succeed in a global marketplace and be accountable to its stakeholders, yet many planning processes become routine tasks divorced from practical implementation. This Practical Business Planning Workshop demonstrates a robust and hands-on approach to producing a business vision grounded in strong analysis, debate, and leadership engagement. Participants learn how to develop practical and powerful plans that drive organisational change and avoid the fate of plans that merely sit on shelves. The Practical Business Planning Workshop equips professionals with the frameworks and techniques needed to produce business plans that deliver results through coherent project-led execution.

Over the three-day workshop, participants work with a simple yet powerful planning methodology that emphasises clarity, accountability, and practical delivery. Delegates will explore how to mobilise the right information, involve key stakeholders, and integrate analytical tools for clearer vision and more effective planning. Emphasis is placed on real-world application and team collaboration to ensure that outcomes can be implemented successfully within participants’ organisations.
