Workshop in Portsmouth

If you’re a housing or regeneration organisation looking to develop a local strategy or business plan then we can help. 

We specialise in helping those with managerial responsibilities in the public sector develop their understanding and skills in strategic management. We can co-ordinate the production of a strategic document from all stages through acting as a critical friend through to doing the legwork and producing the document ourselves. 

We recognise that individuals and organisations are often exhorted to be ‘more strategic’ in their approach. The pressures of the changing external environment mean that organisations have to be adept at converting strategic thinking into operational practice. Managers have to manage the interface between the inside and outside of the organisation. 

We work on both aspects of managing strategy - from high-level strategic thinking to putting your plans into action. We’ve worked with organisations to develop a whole host of strategic documents and helped them put them into practice. 

Our work on Managing Strategy includes working with you to; 

• Understand what you want to achieve
• Analyse the current situation
• Generating options and alternative courses of action
• Building the legitimacy of your approach
• Manage in a political environment
• Look at the capacity and capability of your organisation to take the Strategy forward
• Develop a sense of direction
• Create performance management systems and put them into practice
• Develop strategic thinking skills among staff
• Review successes and lessons learnt
