Training can be delivered via face-to-face and online workshops by NGA consultants. Our workshops are easily accessible and designed to be both interactive and engaging. They provide the opportunity to learn with fellow governors and trustees on a virtual or face-to-face basis.
Session impact
What will your school or trust look like in three years?
What elements could threaten your plans?
Taking time out from routine board business to future plan and decide what you want your trust to look like in three to five years can seem like a challenge. However, how can you progress if you don’t have a clear vision in place and a strategy to achieve it?
The purpose of the session
By the end of this session your board will have a clear understanding of what your mission, ethos, vision and strategy should look like. You will also have an outline of how your ideas can be captured in a framework which will enable the board to track progress towards achieving your new vision.
