The Australian Strategic Planning Institute (TASPI) exists to improve the Strategic Planning process of organisations of all types and sizes.
Our approach to the Strategic Planning process differs from many of the common methods and as a result, we help businesses like yours to create substantially improved Strategic Plans.
The Key words listed above, 'Inform'; 'Consider'; 'Decide'; and 'Implement' help form the framework for our methodology and training for it ensures that your organisation includes an awareness of the future changes emerging, allows it to consider what those changes might mean given your existing skill sets and focus, ensures you decide what exactly, you intend to do; and then ensures you are accountable to carrying out your intentions.
The Australian Strategic Planning Institute was established to provide advanced insight and techniques in Strategic Planning.
Its stated Vision is "Contributing to organisational improvement through effective strategy and planning" and aims to provide excellence in debate and implementation in the Strategic Planning field encompassing stages from Future Potentials, through to execution and on to impacts, results and accountability"
Foundational Beliefs:
- Strategic Planning is a process that presupposes a desired future outcome;
- Strategic Planning is a process that assumes actions will be undertaken;
- Strategic Planning is a process that connects the present to the future, whilst learning from the past;
- Strategic Planning is a process that offers clear direction, method and purpose to an organisation whilst remaining flexible and responsive.
Tackling Core Strategic Planning Challenges:
Most Strategic Planning efforts will fail to deliver value due to at least one of the following 3 reasons -
Poor Inputs were used to construct the Strategic plan
· The thinking and factors that were included in creating the strategic plan did not encompass information that was readily available to the organisation. The result was a Strategic Plan that encapsulated limited thinking, awareness and understanding of potential choices
The Strategic Plan was not executed
· Despite a quality Strategic Plan being constructed, the organisation failed to execute its stated intentions
The Strategic Plan was poorly executed
· Despite clearly stated intentions, the quality of execution did not match that which enabled the organisation to achieve its aims
Utilising our Skills will provide you with significant benefits
• Improved understanding of the knowledge and practical skills essential to strategic planning
•Acquisition of the skills needed to take a pro-active stance towards strategic planning issues
• Techniques for embedding strategic planning into Board and staff activities
• An opportunity to build and develop networks with those responsible for developing or facilitating strategic planning within their organisation, and to compare experiences and approaches to issues.How Well Placed is Your Organisation?
Consider the following key questions:
Do we consistently refer to our strategic plan to ensure we are 'on track'? Yes No
Do we assess the results of our efforts before creating the next plan? Yes No
Do we use our planning process as an opportunity for improvement? Yes No
Do we ensure we have the required capability before assigning a task? Yes No
Does our board refer to the Strategic Plan at each of its board meetings? Yes No
Are we fully aware of and adaptive to emerging changes in our industry? Yes No
Depending on how you answered these questions, you might find that you have an opportunity to substantially improve both the process and content generated within your Strategic Planning initiatives. Too many 'no' answers would certainly suggest the potential to develop your strategic planning skills.
