Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: The Strategy Creation and Deployment programme is designed for Leaders responsible for areas, departments, or teams in the University hoping to create or revisit their strategy.

Part 1 - Strategy Creation

This module will explore the benefits of having a tangible local strategy that is well understood. It will share tools that assist in

• baselining the current place of the department
• identify the vision for the group
• examine the customer base
• explore how to get from baseline to vision
• prioritise, group and align improvement ideas

This module leaves us a portfolio of areas we need to be working on to achieve our vision. 

Part 2 – Strategy Deployment

This module begins where module 1 left off. It examines how we use a Strategy Matrix to relate the Key Improvement Priorities in part 1 to Breakthrough goals, 1 year objectives, measures and targets and teams to carry out the work. It creates individual accountability and traces a single action back to a 5 year goal. We close this module looking at how this strategy is best communicated and  how the process of achievement is managed throughout the year with a low intrusion/high impact approach.

The course itself will give you the tools and templates to implement in your area, however the Continuous Improvement Directorate does also provide a facilitation service to run Strategy Creation and Deployment as a department specific standalone activity following this training.

Please note: this training contains the use of a video. Where possible, a transcript can be provided to support digital accessibility. 

As part of ongoing work to migrate staff training from DAT to iTrent, some sessions may appear in duplicate.  If you have signed up to course via DAT, your place is secure and no further action is required.
