Strategic Planning and Decision Making
Strategic planning is a process that facilitates the establishment of long-range goals and objectives for an organisation. This is true for private companies as it is for public institutions, agencies, or departments, although context and constraints differ. Strategic planning is about introducing change. Strategic Decision-Making involves tackling the major issues our organisations face and reaching the best decision possible – often working in a group. This seminar focuses on initiating and managing the Strategic planning and decision-making cycle so that these processes will deliver the desired results effectively and on time.

Training Seminar Topics
What is Strategic Planning
Answering four questions: Where do we stand today? Where do we want to be in 3-10 years? How do we get there? How do we monitor and evaluate progress towards our objectives? The value of a strategic plan is determined by the quality and rigour of the strategic planning process used to prepare it.
Making Strategic Decisions
A Strategic Decision is one where the stakes or consequences are high – for either our organisation, team or for us personally. How can we create a culture and use one of the many decision-making processes so that the probability of arriving at the best possible decision with the maximum “buy-in” is achieved?

Budgeting the Plan, allocating budgets for projects and programmes. Results-based budgeting. Pushing the Plan through the different organisational levels.
Supervise the Implementation, Evaluation and Monitoring
Many strategic plans are never implemented. Or, they are partially implemented but the organisation does not achieve the original, intended results. We need to create strategic maps, create project portfolios, guidelines and hold timely reviews based upon performance-based monitoring.
SETYM : A Leader in Training
SETYM International excels in capacity building and project management […]. In 2012, I attended result-based monitoring & evaluation training in Montreal. In 2024, I participated in strategic management training in Dubai. Facilitation: The trainers were experts, engaging, and clear communicators […]. Course Content: The content was relevant, well-structured, and practical […]. Coordination & Satisfaction: Communication was clear, venues were well-equipped […]. The training exceeded my expectations. Thanks to SETYM, I now lead Ghana’s NHIA M&E Department. Post-training follow-ups would be beneficial.
I had the opportunity to attend the SETYM International seminar on Strategic Planning and Decision Making, held in Dubai from 25 March to 5 April 2024 and delivered by Salahdine.
Beyond the warm welcome and catering, the trainer had excellent command of the subject matter and delivered it effectively. The evaluation test allowed us to self-assess and clarify any uncertainties.
Having attended several seminars in various countries, I highly recommend SETYM International to all institutions looking to upgrade the skills of their staff — you won’t be disappointed. SETYM International is the best, and I can confirm it. Thank you.
