SUMMARY:Strategic Management in the Public Sectors
DESCRIPTION:Strategic Management in the Public Sectors\nWhy Attend\nThe public sector’s role and its classical paradigm of slow movement is changing. This fast paced change requires a specialized look at the meaning of strategic management in this key sector. Compared to private sector organizations\, the public sector has a tremendously complex network of stakeholders\, partners and customers with varying expectations. Beyond that\, each public sector entity needs to understand its role in achieving higher purpose goals that meet the competitive ambition of the jurisdiction in which it operates. \nIn this course\, we will discuss the importance of competitiveness as a nation. We will also deep dive into the elements of the strategy pyramid in the public sector looking at setting a national vision\, cascading this vision to entities\, putting the right Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure success\, deciding on public policy and collaborating with partners to execute the strategy through initiatives. \n\nCourse Methodology\nThe course reviews best practices in strategy management from different nations around the globe. We will look at national and entity level examples from the UAE\, Singapore\, the UK\, the US\, and other nations. The main strategy management framework used is the balanced scorecard which is tailored for this sector. Participants will practice each element of the strategy management process through real life case studies and engaging activities. \n\n\nCourse Objectives\nBy the end of the course\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the overall public sector structure and the need for competitiveness to achieve national prosperity and growth\nTranslate stakeholder ambition and needs into a strategic plan to achieve an entity’s mandate\nEmploy the public policy development process effectively to achieve the strategic plan\nDesign and manage strategic initiatives and cross-entity collaboration mechanisms to effectively execute strategies\nUtilize a practical performance management system to develop and sustain a performance culture\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\nAll managers and professionals who are involved in influencing\, formulating or supporting the planning and strategy of their government or semi government entity\, department or corporation. The course is also beneficial to those who are responsible for linking\, measuring and improving the performance of the organization\, including sector and department managers\, strategy or performance management professionals\, balanced scorecard managers\, and research analysts. \n\n\nTarget Competencies\n\nStrategic thinking and planning\nService innovation\nPerformance management\nPartnerships development\nPolicy making\nLeadership skills\n\nOutline\n\n\nAmbition and role of the public sector\n\n\n\nBenefits of strategic management in the public sector\nIllustrating types of institutions in the public sector\nStrategy management framework in the public sector\nPublic sector strategy definitions\nCascading the national vision to entity level\nExamples of national visions of nations\nDefining strategic themes linked to citizens’ needs\nRole of government in achieving themes\nDetermining underlying national outcomes and KPIs\nUsing international indices in target setting\nMeasuring a nation’s ability in building a competitive environment\nBecoming competitive as a nation: Porter’s model\n\n\n\nStrategic planning in the public sector\n\n\n\nBuilding a strategy map tailored to the public sector\nAnswering the 3 questions of the strategic planning process\nUsing SWOT analysis\nFundamentals of PEDESTL framework\nDetermining stakeholders and customers: building a stakeholder map\nCascading national outcomes and KPIs into sectors\nDeveloping vision and mission statements\nDeveloping strategic objectives and KPIs using the balanced scorecard model\n\n\n\nPublic policy development\n\n\n\nUnderstanding public policy and its uses\nLinking public policy to strategic planning\nPhases of public policy development\nDetermining root causes of a policy problem\nDefining types of policies\nDeveloping policy options\nCriteria to consider when assessing policy options\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nManaging strategic initiatives and partnerships\n\n\n\nBuilding initiative charters\nAssessing the impact of initiatives\nUnderstanding partners’ roles and cause and effect relationships\nDetermining accountabilities\nDesigning delivery agreements between different stakeholders\nEnsuring cross-entity collaboration\n\n\n\nDesigning the Performance Management System (PMS)\n\n\n\nPMS purpose and guiding principles\nSelecting\, validating and documenting KPIs and targets\nCollecting\, measuring and documenting results\nAnalyzing performance and root causes\nReporting performance\nConducting operational and strategy review meetings collaboratively\nUtilizing performance improvement plans\n\n\n\nEvent Coordinated by BASA Training \nYou can also visit our Online Courses Website Excel Elearning \nYou can also get an affordable ebook on ebooksnest.com \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Form\nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.		\n			Information Organization Email\n			\n		\n		Applicant Details *FirstLastEmail *EmailConfirm EmailPhone Number *Course Type *--- Select Choice ---CertificationsAccounting and FinanceAdministrationAuditing and GovernanceBankingBusiness Continuity and Crisis ManagementCommunication and Writing SkillsConferenceCustomer ServiceData Analytics and Artificial IntelligenceData Management and Business IntelligenceDigital Innovation and TransformationGovernment and Public SectorHuman Resources and TrainingInsurance and Financial ServicesInterpersonal Skills and Self DevelopmentIT Management and Cyber SecurityLeadership and ManagementManagementPlanning and Strategy ManagementProject ManagementPublic RelationsQuality and ProductivityRisk and ComplianceSafety and EnvironmentSecurity ManagementSelect the correct course category (typically found below in the course details)Course Name *Course VenuePretoria\, South AfricaDurban\, South AfricaCape Town\, South AfricaKigali\, RwandaHarare\, ZimbabweDubaiAdditional InformationOrganization Name *AddressAddress Line 2 *FirstLastAddress Line 3 *FirstLastOrganization Contact DetailsFirstLastNumber of Participants from organization\n\n\n\n	Participants: 1\nUse the slider to chose whether you want to register only 1 or 10 participantsAdditional Participants detailsSubmit
