Strategic planning

Strategic planning is a core skill of JMA.

We regularly assist our clients to move through four steps:

• undertake strategic analysis of your current external and internal environments
• identify strategic directions
• choose preferred options
• implement change.

Five examples of our work from Aug-Nov 2009 are:

• Facilitated a workshop for the Inner West Cluster of NSW Community Colleges, on a model for business and strategic planning for all NSW community colleges. August 2009
• Facilitated three workshops for TAFE NSW - South Western Sydney Institute, on developing a model and strategies to support its Key Focus Area of "Workforce Capacity and Capability Building". August-Sept 2009
• Facilitated the annual strategic planning workshop for TAFE NSW - Western Sydney Institute, to identify five strategic directions for the next twelve months. Sept 2009

As a speciality focus, we have pioneered strategic planning in relation to e-business and e-learning in education. For example, we have:

• analysed a government operation as an e-business
• provided an e-business strategic plan for a large, metropolitan TAFE Institute
• provided a strategic planning workshop for a regional TAFE Institute
• provided a report, E-competent Australia, on whether competencies could be identified in e-business to suit the national training system.
