STRATEGIC AND BUSINESS PLANNING : Roadmap to the future

Planning is an essential function of any effective organization. ACCESS facilitates strategic, business, and operational planning workshops for financial institutions, associations, SMEs, and NGOs working in rural areas.

ACCESS’s intensive strategic planning program begins with an in-depth look at an organization’s vision and mission, conducts a SWOT analysis, and facilitates the selection of “grand strategies” and the development of “strategic statements”. Utilizing the strategy map and balanced scorecard framework developed by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton, the workshop concludes with the development of a change management plan, budget, and communications protocol to guide the implementation of the organization’s new or revised strategy.
