Course Description
The aim of this course is to provide delegates with a framework for understanding the concepts of strategy and to expose them to a range of strategic behaviour models. It explores which concepts derived from the private commercial sector have relevance to managers working in a not for profit or public sector context. After the growing adoption of a more ‘business-like’ approach in public services and the voluntary sector, issues of ethical practice will be considered. The interface between the policy and strategic domains is also a focus area.
Gain new intellectual, practical and transferable skills:
Think and plan more strategically
Engage effectively in critical analysis, evaluation, assessment and interpretation of complex information
Evaluate and make appropriate judgements and recommendations
Communicate information effectively and succinctly
