Planning to Produce Results

Got a job to do or a project to run, or even a house to build or a business to start?

This workshop is specifically designed to deliver the critical skills and processes required to help you create and execute effective plans that will deliver observable and positive results.

You will take away the simplest yet most effective planning tool that you can use every day to make getting the job done easier – on time, in full and on budget. Building on this is the skill of Analytical Thinking that will help you tackle more complex and in-depth tasks with confidence, and the additional more advanced planning tools will all combine to help

If you are in or aspiring to a leadership or management position, being an effective Planner increases your value to the organisation immensely.

You can probably see some connections to your personal life as well.

This workshop ensures that it’s easy for you to acquire these skills and processes. More importantly, the learning methodology and included activities/assignments help you to practice for mastery, personalise to your own style and approach, and apply these skills precisely to the reality of your role and the day-to-day situations you face.

We will be using the downloadable Planning to Produce Results Workbook resource; this has copies of key slides and notes, Application Exercises and Assignments to be done during and after the Workshop, Self-Assessment test for mastery, Action Plans for ongoing development and to help meet future challenges and further information with links
