Facilitation of board away days | National Governance Association

Strategy day facilitation

All boards are accountable for leading the organisation strategically, which means ensuring that there is an agreed vision and strategy for the school, trust or federation. The vision should be shared by all stakeholders and set direction for the organisation for several years. It should reflect the values and culture of the organisation and should be the basis for a three-year strategic plan on which the financial forecast and annual objectives are based.

Our service

The NGA consultant facilitates a workshop attended by the board and senior leaders to explore the organisation's vision, culture, and strategy. We often deliver this annually to our clients during the summer term to help them develop their improvement objectives for next year.
If you do not yet have a three-year vision or strategy, the facilitated session will guide the board through the process of developing one and help them understand what a strong vision should look like.
This very flexible service can be customised to meet your needs. We can deliver a three-hour session to get you started or a whole strategy day to agree on the priorities for the coming year.
