Strategic Planning
Performance People works with clients to assist in developing strategic and business plans. The approach varies according to needs and context. Generally this involves a facilitated workshop to undertake a situational analysis and identify strategic goals for the organisation, and the collation of the workshop outcomes into a Strategic Plan. For a more thorough process, this might involve interviewing internal and external stakeholders, and may involve setting pre-work to understand the organisation's strategic context.Geoff's role is primarily facilitative, and involves asking questions and introducing activities which encourage people to participate actively in the development of the Strategic Plan. People's contributions are captured and incorporated into the Strategic Plan.
