Workshop – Positioning the planning organisation

Everybody in the organisation has an opinion on ‘how things are planned’. Team leaders, management, the finance department, the works council, HR and of course the employees themselves. People’s opinions about how things are planned are not always positive and there can be several reasons for this.

Managers and operational employees do not always feel that their voice has been heard. Planning staff do not always feel understood and appreciated in view of the complexity of the rules and regulations that affect their work. This can lead to tensions on both sides, a decline in performance and, in some cases, absenteeism among planners, managers and employees. This is very unfortunate and above all unnecessary.

This workshop focuses on giving planning staff the tools they need to convincingly explain their work and challenges. Based on a positive, professional attitude and a common goal. Clearly stating what they stand for, what colleagues are entitled to expect and what they expect of their colleagues. The organisation benefits and the work of the (senior) planners or planning managers becomes even more enjoyable and effective.

Workshop - Positioning the planning organisation

What knowledge and expertise will you gain from this workshop?

After the workshop, you are capable of:

  • formulating inspiring objectives for your planning organisation;
  • building on the strengths of your planning organisation;
  • recognising and addressing areas where your planning organisation is not so strong;
  • positioning the planning organisation and yourself within the organisation;
  • more effectively developing a professional working relationship with different stakeholders;
  • working with greater self-confidence and pride.

Programme

The programme consists of two days and includes many assignments that focus on your own daily work.

Day 1

  • Identify the potential of the planning organisation:
    • What do we stand for?
    • Topic for reflection: what are we proud of and what could be done better?
  • Flesh out the dot on the horizon: your personal planning objectives.
  • Prepare for an interview with the important influencers in the organisation:
    • What do they think about how things are planned? The interviews take place before day 2.

Day 2

  • Analyse the outcomes of the interviews.
  • Determine how the stakeholders should ideally see the planning organisation: the target identity.
  • Draw up a plan of action to make the organisation aware of this identity.
  • Formulate a personal development plan.
