Organisations that have a clear strategy which is then transferred into the heart and minds of managers are those most likely to succeed. Translating this strategy into operations planning and passionately driving progress is a fundamental role as managers align themselves with delivering on the organisation’s dreams. In essence the operational plan should set out the goals of the team, section or department, how the goals will be achieved, and what resources are required to meet the goals. This course will lead delegates through a detailed process of developing and implementing an effective operational plan for your department, division or small business.
