Our one day training course features NCVO’s ground-breaking approach to strategy, tailored specifically for voluntary and community organisations (VCOs). Focusing on the 10 key strategic decisions every VCO needs to address, our approach to strategy is mission orientated, putting your beneficiaries or cause at the heart of the process. 

This cutting edge thinking has been developed from our work with a range of charities over several years.

The course will be delivered by Donald Ritchie, who has over 10 years experience working directly with VCOs of all shapes and sizes.

This interactive, enjoyable and challenging day will:

  • Top tips for what a good strategy looks like
  • the 10 big strategic questions you should be asking
  • A fool proof plan for developing a strategy
  • Guidance on how to keep your strategy impact focussed
  • Practical exercises around 5 of the 10 big questions (Beneficiaries, Impact, Vision/Mission, Position and Relationships)

The benefits for you include:

  • Greater understanding of how to create a successful charity strategy.
  • The chance to try out practical tools.
  • Increased confidence to help you apply what you learn

Who should attend?

  • Chief executives
  • Senior managers
  • Programme managers
  • Trustees

Feedback from previous course participants:
