What Previous Participants Have Said:

"Excellent and engaging. The 'structuring for success' component has been particularly pertinent for me as I'm at the very early stages of developing a plan. I have really enjoyed working up the stakeholder map – a very worthwhile analysis! This course is incredibly timely! Thank you!"

"Each program session in Business Planning has been enjoyable and informative. Mary and Bryan always bring to the table an interesting approach to difficult tasks. The most useful aspect was the DGR Plan Creation Tool - what a resource! This has been ‘planning made easy’."

"Excellent presenters who have a great response to questions raised. I have learned the importance of culture and internal dynamics in planning, and how to respond to Black Holes, Implementers, Contributors and Strategic Leader elements within an organisation. Loved the template to identify black hole failures in a business group and then identify the positives that you want to achieve through the change process. Great materials. The program really gets you thinking."

"Fantastic, really engaging, interesting sessions that bring together people management and strategic planning. Learning how to be transformational in planning has been powerful."

"A well-presented program that demonstrates how to shift groups into more positive and productive directions. I found the segment on the language of planning very insightful – it is something which has made planning in the past a painful task. The stories told throughout really help to get the messages across. It gives me insight on how to tailor messaging to implement planned changes."

"The program has really flowed - excellent interaction, tempo and tenor.  I love the simplicity of the Plan Creation Tool in driving a planning product...but also how inertia and discord can be replaced by constructive, authentic dialogue. Seeing the Plan Creation Tool in action has been the most useful aspect. I can see how this approach will radically streamline our planning, take the pain out and empower more authentic conversations."
