A one-day workshop with David Saint on how to develop an inspiring, achievable and fundable strategic plan.


Attendance fee: £164 per person including VAT,
presentation materials and lunch.
‘Pragmatic planning’ is a practical one-day workshop for third sector leaders on how to plan in the real world – a world in which resources are tight, options can appear limited and there are always a thousand other more pressing day-to-day things to do.

This is a highly practical and interactive workshop, limited to thirty participants. It is led by David Saint, the Chairman of Action Planning, who has helped the Boards of many third sector organisations to chart a new way forward, and to develop realistic plans for making their visions a reality.

David Saint
 

David is one of the UK’s leading exponents of strategic planning, fundraising strategy, and the interdependency of these two disciplines. He will explain how to run a planning process which your team will find liberating, challenging, stimulating and insight-provoking.

Above all, he will help you adopt a pragmatic and effective approach which addresses the real constraints facing your organisation. David will equip you to develop a realistic plan which will truly inform and co-ordinate the work of your team and which you funders will find inspirational and
truly credible.

workshop content:
The programme will unpack the key elements in a strategic plan and the interrelation with fundraising strategy. It will also explain how to:

engage your board, staff, funders and other key stakeholders in the planning process

develop an inspiring vision and mission

guidance on how to build and maintaining effective
long term partnerships with statutory funders

think ‘out of the box’ to identify new strategic options

find time to plan, despite the pressures of day-to-day management

ensure the process affects what people do every day

measure progress and outcomes

adapt the plan to accommodate the unexpected

The workshop is limited to thirty places, allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

Organised by Action Planning in association with Third Sector
