ToP Participatory Strategic Planning Training (PSP)

How can I facilitate a group to develop a longer-term vision for their future, and establish their broad strategies for achieving that vision?
✅How can I ensure a real sense of ownership, so that their plan becomes action?
This course presents a structured long-range planning process which incorporates the Consensus Workshop method for building consensus, the Focused Conversation method for effective group communication, and elements of the Action Planning method for turning ideas into productive action and concrete accomplishments.
The course is suitable for all those who want to be able to involve people more effectively in planning and implementing medium to long-term strategies together, including team leaders and managers within organisations, those working with Boards, management teams, partnerships and external stakeholders, youth and community workers and independent facilitators.

By the end of the course, you will
✅have enhanced your capacity for creative strategy building by exploring and understanding the four stages and the flow of the Participatory Strategic Planning process, and the four associated types of thinking – visionary, contradictional, strategic and practical
✅be able to identify when and how to use the Participatory Strategic Planning process
✅have consolidated your understanding of the Consensus Workshop and Focused Conversation methods, and gained the confidence to use and adapt them
✅have further developed your links with others to promote future collaboration and support in the use of the methods.
Those with more experience of facilitation, strategic planning or our approach may need no further support to apply the process effectively in their own situations, and for others, the course serves as a powerful, experiential introduction to the process.
