Strategic Management in the Public and Not for Profit Sectors

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
• Demonstrate evidence-based judgement skills
