Methodology for Strategic Conversations - sparqs (DCSA project)

As part of the Developing College Students' Associations (DCSA) project, delivered jointly with NUS Charity, sparqs has designed a methodology to encourage institutions and students' associations to carry out a structured strategic conversation when in the process of strategic planning.  These conversations will enable both stakeholders to get to know the counterpart’s current goals and strategic aims, helping to ensure institutional and SA plans are aligned and identifying opportunites to work in partnership. 

You can chair the strategic conversation yourself, or you can ask a member of the sparqs team to facilitate the methodology for you.  

The strategic conversation should take place after SAs have carried out their strategic planning workshops with NUS Development Consultants, aimed at designing their strategic plan. The methodology then aims to equip the SA with the information and tools to proceed with the final draft of their plan.
