2 CREATIVE STRATEGIC PLANNING & LEADERSHIP Developing Innovative, Visioning and Strategic Thinking Skills Introduction This GLOMACS Creative Strategic Planning & Leadership training seminar is designed to provide leaders and professionals with a set of transformational tools and techniques to help them maximise their own and their team s creative potential in a strategic context. Its starting-point is self-discovery: participants will work on the inside first and then focus outwards to impact on the world of business. The focus of the first week of this 2-week GLOMACS Management & Leadership training seminar will be on thinking in different ways. Participants should be prepared to move out of their comfort zone and experiment with new ways of creating and communicating an inspiring leadership vision. The second week helps demystify the frequently-misunderstood concept of strategy. Whilst focusing on the analytical disciplines on which successful strategy is based, it centres on strategic planning as a value-adding process which harnesses the leader s and the team s ability to combine analysis with creative thinking and enables ideas and plans to be nurtured through to reality. The highlights of the 10-day GLOMACS training course are as follows: Demonstrating how to balance analytical and creative thinking in plans and decisions Understanding how to discover and focus the creative capabilities of teams and individuals Understanding the linkage between operational and strategic management Aligning your own responsibilities and objectives with the strategy of your organisation Improving personal leadership and management competencies The training seminar is split into two modules: MODULE I - Leading Creatively MODULE II - Strategy & Strategic Planning Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a two-weeks training course. Objectives By the end of this GLOMACS training seminar, you will be able to: Demonstrate innovative methods for harnessing others creative potential Communicate your vision in refreshing and engaging ways Define the concepts of strategy and strategic plans Understand and explain visionary thinking as part of the strategic process and apply strategic planning to your own management issues Place your own part of the organisation within the overall context of corporate strategy Gain confidence in managing your own contribution to strategic implementation Training Methodology This GLOMACS Creative Strategic Planning & Leadership training seminar uses a range of approaches to learning, including experiential group activities, individual visioning exercises, case studies and syndicate discussions, to allow you to see and feel for yourself the power of the creative mind in a strategic context. Formal inputs are used to introduce a limited amount of underpinning theory. A key part of the learning process is sharing the differing experiences participants bring, as well as experimenting with novel and sometimes challenging techniques. In the second module, the course leader will use case examples based on organisations with which he has been personally involved. There will be additional presentations on DVD from world-leading authorities in the fields of strategy formulation and strategic management. There will also be group work on a major case study.
