Workshop information

What will you learn?

This whole day workshop is divided into two parts. Part one includes formulating a strategic plan; the strategic planning process; identifying and achieving strategic goals; monitoring performance; and contributing to an analysis of strategic risk. It also introduces practical tools to monitor strategy implementation to ensure success.

Part two focuses on the directors' knowledge of risk for the organisation and their monitoring of management's ongoing assessment and treatment of risk. It provides practical tools for assessing risk appetite at board level and distinguishes the role of the board and the role of the organisation. Through group work and discussions, part two investigates what risk is and how the risks faced by organisations are identified and measured.
