Strategic planning is often perceived as being difficult and requiring specialist skills - and also as being too challenging or lacking value when the future is so uncertain; leaders can often find it difficult to know how best to go about strategic planning in their organisation, and how to ensure that strategy is managed successfully. In this&nbsp;Strategy Insights Masterclass we will start from &#39;first principles&#39; and explore what strategic planning is really about and how to approach it effectively (including how to consider the uncertainty of the future). The aim is to stimulate your thinking about what might be the right approach to strategic planning in your organisation (every organisation is different!); the Masterclass will be participative, with opportunities to work and share ideas with other delegates (without disclosing any organisational confidences).[This Masterclass has been given previously for specific groups, and given the feedback from participants is now being made available for open booking.] &nbsp; ** David Booth has kindly donated a complimentary copy of his book, &#39;Strategy Journeys - a guide to effective strategic planning&#39; (shortlisted for the CMI Management Book of the Year 2018) to be made available to those attending this Masterclass **&nbsp;

Strategic planning is often perceived as being difficult and requiring specialist skills - and also as being too challenging or lacking value when the future is so uncertain; leaders can often find it difficult to know how best to go about strategic planning in their organisation, and how to ensure that strategy is managed successfully.

In this Strategy Insights Masterclass we will start from 'first principles' and explore what strategic planning is really about and how to approach it effectively (including how to consider the uncertainty of the future). The aim is to stimulate your thinking about what might be the right approach to strategic planning in your organisation (every organisation is different!); the Masterclass will be participative, with opportunities to work and share ideas with other delegates (without disclosing any organisational confidences).
[This Masterclass has been given previously for specific groups, and given the feedback from participants is now being made available for open booking.]

Practical Accessibility

A day of Data Governance, support, networking, and answering your questions<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">About this event</h2><div style="color: rgb(57, 54, 79); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(57, 54, 79);">

Are you responsible for implementing Data Governance? Are you expected to have all the answers?


 


It can be a scary position to be in, especially if you are new to the role, and even if you have done it before, what worked for the last organisation doesn&#39;t always work for the new one.


 


You can end up feeling lonely, vulnerable and frustrated. After all, you are trying to implement Data Governance to help your organisation - why is it turning out to be so difficult?!


 


You can spend hours on the internet or reading books but it can be challenging trying to turn the theory into something practical that will work for your organisation. If only you could fast forward to a few years&rsquo; time when you have done many more Data Governance initiatives and had a wider range of experience to fall back on.


 


If you don&#39;t have a time machine to help you with that, the other option is to build a network of experienced trusted peers who are willing to share the benefit of their experience with you. But that can be easier said than done. These days many networking events still aren&rsquo;t taking place and those that are are online and it&rsquo;s very hard to get a chance to speak let alone get advice for your challenges.


 


I can help you with that.


 


Why not join this 1 Day Data Governance Mastermind Workshop, where you get allocated time to get specific advice on your current Data Governance challenges and get the chance to network with others in similar situations.

Untangle your Data Governance issue and collaborate with your peers during this one-day Mastermind
Discuss Data Governance approaches with people who get it
Are you struggling with a Data Governance issue and wish you had a team of other Data Governance professionals you could bounce it around with?
You’ve done Data Governance training and you know what you’re focusing on. While your team is supportive, you spend a lot of time dealing with, and driving forward, culture change, managing stakeholders, and fielding questions from people who have their own priorities and now need to do this ‘Data Governance stuff’ on top. 
It would be nice, once in a while, to have a conversation about how to achieve something free from internal issues. You want to talk about best practices and get some alternative ideas.
That’s what my Data Governance Mastermind gives you: space to reflect with the support of your peers and practical solutions you can implement.
What is a mastermind?
Mastermind groups are the definition of ‘sharing is caring’. It’s you and your fellow peers – people who do what you do - gathering to brainstorm, problem solve, set goals and be each other’s support network.
At the Data Governance Mastermind, you will meet and learn from other people implementing Data Governance initiatives. 
It’s a one-day event, on Zoom. One of the benefits of attending is you’ll get 30 minutes in the ‘hot seat’ where you can share something you’re struggling with and get input from the group. 
What you can expect during the day
Discussions about different aspects of Data Governance and the opportunity to share what’s worked for you.
Tailored advice specific to your situation from me.
Insights from other people implementing Data Governance about what’s worked for them, what hasn’t worked, and how they have tackled issues.
30 minutes in the hot seat so you can share something you need help with and get practical suggestions from the rest of the delegates.
Time to reflect and share learnings from discussions so you have your key takeaways written down, ready to take back to work with you.
Get to know other Data Governance professionals and build a support network
Get an action plan and confidence to take your next steps with Data Governance
Get ready to discover new ways of approaching your Data Governance challenges, while getting to know professionals from a range of industries.
You will:
Get a clear action plan to take away with you to tackle your specific Data Governance issues.
Develop a wider network of supportive Data Governance professionals, people got your back and will be available to continue to network and ask advice or in the future.
Leave with the confidence that you're not alone in tackling these issues. There are other people going through similar experiences that are willing to help you out.
Is attending a Mastermind right for me? 
Every individual's Data Governance journey is unique. Take my scorecard to determine if my Mastermind programme is the right fit for you and will effectively support your specific needs. You can also find out more about the day on my website.
