Plenty of organizations can write an impressive strategic plan; far fewer can actually activate it and keep administrative policy moving in step with it. This Training Course in Activating Strategic Plans: Systems and Practical Methods, from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, focuses squarely on that gap — turning a document into a working system.

Planning itself is the set of administrative tasks aimed at defining an organization's future goals and the routes to reach them, with clear foresight into what developments might arise along the way. Strategic activation goes further: it mobilizes and coordinates resources and people toward those goals within a set timeframe, at the lowest practical cost, through deliberate, coordinated effort by planners who stay focused on the plan's overall objectives.

Course Objectives:
