Strategic and operations planning

We facilitate the planning sessions of ministries, offices and agencies: from the legal mandate and alignment with the Bangsamoro Development Plan to the programs, resources and annual work plan that carry the strategy into the year.

When to call us

Offices usually call us in situations like these.

  • a new strategic plan is due, or the current one no longer fits
  • the strategy is set, but divisions plan their work separately
  • the year's activities are not linked to the plan or the budget
  • a planning session needs an outside facilitator so everyone can take part

What we facilitate

  • The legal mandate of the office, and its place in the Bangsamoro Development Plan.

  • The strategic agenda, the stakeholders and the strategy options.

  • A theory of change, and the programs, projects and activities that follow from it.

  • Resource requirements, an annual work and financial plan, and the schedule of activities.

What you receive

Each output is drafted with your team and assembled into one plan.

  • a legal mandate matrix and an alignment map to the Bangsamoro Development Plan
  • a theory of change with its narrative
  • a register of programs, projects and activities with resource requirements
  • an annual work plan and a schedule of activities
  • a monitoring and evaluation framework for the plan

How it runs

  1. Prepare

    We study the mandate, current plans, structure and functions, and design the sessions with your planning team.

  2. Plan

    Over facilitated sessions, the team works from mandate to theory of change to programs.

  3. Operationalize

    Divisions turn the strategy into operations plans, processes and an annual schedule.

  4. Assemble and approve

    We assemble the plan with your team for review, endorsement and approval.

Grounded in our guidebooks

The method follows the 10-Point Strategic Planning Framework of our guidebook, in five layers: foundation, analysis, design, execution and accountability.
