Background

Organizational change is an important issue. It is a process in which an organization optimizes performance as it works toward its ideal state. Organizational change occurs as a reaction to an ever-changing environment, a response to a current crisis, or is triggered by a leader when there are changes in leadership for an organization.

One of the areas where an organization needs to change and can change is the Mission, Vision, & Strategy. Organizations should continually ask themselves, "What is our business and what should it be?" Answers to these questions can lead to changes in the organization's mission (the purpose of its business), its vision for the future (what the organization should look like), and its competitive strategy.

This program leads us to a process we call strategic planning. Strategic planning is a tool for organizing the present based on the projection of the desired future. A strategic plan is a roadmap to lead an institution from where it is now to where it would like to be in the next five years. In strategic planning, directional guidelines are given by the institution’s stakeholders. These guidelines aid in appraising the changing market conditions and spotting opportunities or dangers. They examine the organization’s strengths, weaknesses, mission, and values. Then, they try to match the corporate opportunities with the organization’s strengths and priority commitments.

This program will have a 5-year projection to chart the best possible and doable actions for these institutions. These will be used as a basis to monitor the efficiency of these institutions when managing their resources. CPSC will coordinate with the focal council on TVET for member countries in realizing the TVET agenda as per plan in strategic planning.

This program will therefore elaborate on strategic management as a process for setting both long-term and short-term strategic directions for the organization. The central thrust will be to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage since strategic management is the process of ‘strategic decision-making. It is expected that by learning the process of strategic planning and management, a systematic way of carrying out interrelated activities is undertaken to obtain desired goals and objectives of particular institutions.

This program is the second phase of CPSC’s preparations for the Strategic Plan 2023-2028 and will involve technical experts from the field of TVET to further scrutinize its contents and align it to the aspirations of the member countries’ TVET agenda. This program will also be a good opportunity for the representatives to physically meet and discuss certain issues that may affect the future implementation of TVET in their countries, taking into account the regional context.
