Strategic Planning ann Program Design
Suppose you don’t know where you’re going, why, and how; you probably won’t get there. In that case, IRN’s strategic planning and program design services help clients maintain clarity and focus in achieving results, even as conditions change.
Effective strategic planning and agile program design are essential to managing results in the complex environments in which organisations operate. Strategy identifies desired outcomes, making the best choices based on clear, defensible criteria, while planning provides orderliness and discipline to put strategy and design into action. Program design must support strategic objectives and entail tactical decisions based on evidence and lessons learned about what works – or doesn’t work when strategic planning and program design are well managed, contributing to organisational effectiveness, staff cohesion, stakeholder buy-in, and sustainable results.
