Course Description:

This course presents and highlights the benefits and best practices of strategic thinking and planning as a crucial tool in international development management. A working definition of strategic planning is a framework for comprehensive long-range planning that attempts to articulate the organization’s strategic priorities to manage results. Strategic planning is the process of determining what an organization wants to be in the future and how it will get there. The organization examines the environment in which it competes, questions fundamental assumptions about its mission and creatively attempts to envision its role in a different and more effective way. It is a delimitation of strategic objectives and a description of how resources will be deployed to accomplish them. A strategic plan should be prepared whether the organization is managed at a country/national, regional, central or organizational level. In this course, participants will learn about strategic thinking and planning processes in the context of development management.
