Developing your strategic framework
About this event
A strategic framework provides a ‘north star’ direction for what you want to achieve, setting the basis for an adaptive strategy that empowers ongoing decision-making in the face of changing circumstances through the life of the strategy.
In this online seminar you will hear from Naomi Chapman, Senior Consultant at NPC, about the tools and approaches NPC uses when helping clients develop their strategic framework. Also hear from Kath Abrahams, CEO at Tommy’s, about what she has learnt from developing and implementing their new strategy. There will be a presentation and then Q&A, with space to share your experiences and learn from others.
This seminar is for people working in social purpose organisations who have a responsibility for strategy. That might include senior leaders from the executive or trustee board, as well as colleagues in strategy, operations and impact roles who have a responsibility for developing, implementing, or reviewing strategy. The focus of the session will be organisational strategy, but it may also be useful to programme managers leading on programme strategy.
This session will be relevant for organisations that are:
- drawing to the end of a strategy period and thinking about ‘what’s next’
- looking for better ways to set priorities and make decisions in a tumultuous external environment without being pulled off-track
- feeling they have lost the ‘golden thread’ of organisational identity in the midst of multiple programmes and rapid adjustment
- reviewing and refocusing after a period of organisational or leadership change.
There will be plenty of time for Q&A and discussion.
