STRATEGY WORKSHOPS
FBS provides a
facilitation service to organisations to help them run successful strategy
workshops. We are fully conversant with a range of strategic planning tools
and models and are able to adapt many of them to fit a variety of
organisations and their situations. Many of these tools and models can be
abbreviated to provide a simple but effective way of considering
organisational issues and planning future possibilities. We can act simply
as a facilitator of the workshop or we can be more involved by using our
expertise in strategic planning and strategic management. We are happy to
work with small and large organisations and our services are entirely
confidential. And we are also happy to find locations and venues that will
help managers produce the best results from a strategy workshop. Strategy
workshops are typically away days for managers who are involved in the
forward direction of their organisation. They are usually held off site at a
venue that is conducive to original and creative thought. The aim is to
critically consider and review the organisation's position and future
direction. An outcome should be achieved that will give the managers a
clearer understanding of where the organisation is and where it should be in
the future. An outline plan for how to proceed could be produced. Goals and
outcomes should be the desired aim but a workshop may simply concentrate on
helping the participants to clear their minds so that goals and direction can
be considered at a subsequent event. A workshop might
typically run for one or two days with perhaps a semi informal evening where
ideas can be discussed in a more relaxed environment. These ideas must be
captured and brought forward to the second day. Normally strategy
workshops will involve those senior managers who are directly involved in the
strategy of the organisation perhaps no more than ten. However others may be
involved if their input is essential or useful, but numbers should be
limited, groups of more than ten will find it harder to reach agreement and
involve everyone fully and constructively. |
