Strategic Planning Guidebook

The Guide to Strategic Planning is a methodological tool for the creation of strategic plans and long-term projections. It has been designed to provide an overview of the main strategic management areas whilst also highlighting the key phases of strategic planning.
Through the use of simple techniques and analyses it is hoped that certain shortcomings, which may arise in the process of risk assessment and are often a direct result of limited budgetary resources, have been addressed.

"I was delighted to receive the ILM certificate yesterday.

I would like to thank you for your inspired teaching based on a vast and in depth knowledge of your speciality which you extracted and delivered for our basic course, which you then really made fascinating and interesting.

I know one or two of my class mates were continuing with their studies but my work commitments are such at the moment that I cannot contemplate such a course. Instead of throwing away the business and appointment sections of the Sunday Times, your influence has taught me to find them interesting reading.

Your teaching has given me a sound basis to understand and appreciate management technique to glean the information I require."

“Dear Prof. Ivanovic, thank you very much for your email. It was my pleasure to follow your lectures on HRM. I found out very beneficiary this seminar work to be as a first exercise on examination of both public and private sectors on Human Resource Management.

“Dear Prof Ivanovic, thank you for your e mail. Actually I was thinking to write you e-mail and to thank you for the very interesting lectures… I already start to “talk to people”… and to solve the problems that is why I’m very thankful. I didn’t start assignment because of exams, lectures that we are having. I don’t think that will be too easy but we will complete. “

All the course materials you gave us were very helpful and of a high standard … The support you provided was excellent and you were always on hand to help whenever necessary – even with things that were not directly related to the course we were studying.

“Further to our meeting with you regarding the ILM level 5.We would like to bring to your attention the wonderful support we received from Miodrag. He spent endless time with us and nothing was too much trouble to him.

Although he offered support at the start of the programme, we were somewhat overwhelmed by the content of the course and it was much later that we accessed his expertise, with a successful outcome.” Patricia Gill & Julie Meldrum, Oaklands College, ILM L5 Award in Leadership & Management, 7 March 2014

“Just a private message to thank you for the help you gave me in the meetings we had and throughout the year, I appreciate. I may not be the easiest student to teach, so hats off to you for putting up with me! I have just submitted the referral assignment after a long weekend of working on it. I even managed to hand it in with 5 hours to spare, which is unlike me as I often seem to be doing last minute checks! Thanks again. “Phil Cremin, BSc in Construction management, Oaklands, Associate College of University of Hertfordshire, 27 June 2011.

“Uvaženi Ivanović dr Miodrag, hvala na lepim vestima koje ste mi danas saopštili. Veoma mi je drago što ste u vrlo kratkom vremenu uspeli da nam podjedine stvari dočarate na jedan sasvim drugi način. Deo iskustva stečen na Vašim predavanjima koristim u praksi i oni pokazuju već vidljive rezultate. Nadam se da ćete nam i u narednom periodu pružati korisne savete i prenositi Vaše bogato iskustvo.”

“Dragi profesore, iako ste već vjerovatno digli ruke, evo mene ! :-) Probio sam rokove, po principu "kasno Marko na Kosovo stiže". Međutim, ono što je meni najbitnije jeste da sam ja napisao rad, napravio prezentaciju i napisao izjavu, koje Vam u prilogu dostavljam. Diploma je bitna, naravno, ali meni je najbitnije da sam ja ispunio obavezu prema sebi i prema Vama koji ste nas obasipali sa toliko pažnje i energije. Budite sigurni da sam jednu stvar sigurno naučio kroz ILM program, odnosno od Vas, a to je upravljanje sobom i vremenom. Siguran sma da poslije ovog iskustva (a posebno kašnjenja kada je u pitanju rad koga sam pisao u žurbi i u trci sa vremenom) više nikada neću dozvoliti da me nedostatak vremena obeshrabri .Shvatio sam da vremena imam napretek, ali da ga treba dobro isplanirati pri tome određujući prioritete. Ovim završavam, da Vama ne bi oduzimao vrijeme. Puno srdačnih pozdrava za Vas, i zamolio bi Vas da , iako sam zakasnio, pogledate rad i date svoje sugestije i primjedbe, jer želim da ga završim i unaprijedim za "svoju dušu". :-)

“Dear Professor, I hope you are well and things are going well in your life. These days I heard that you won't be teaching at ECPD Centre and I know very well what the students will be missing. ECPD will have a great loss without you, in particular students who won’t listen to your lectures, experience, guidance, etc.
Let me tell you, that I will remember you forever as the greatest professor I have ever seen.”

“Poštovani profesore, najlepše Vam hvala na javljanju iako smo mi mlađi trebali učiniti prvi korak … Druženje na Vašoj radionici ću pamtiti dugo kao jedan blistavi primer interaktivnog učenja i na tome Vam puno hvala. Nadam se da ćemo se videti na kursu u decembru mesecu 2009. Godine … Svaka Vaša ideja je dragocena a kritika poučna, … Koristim priliku da Vas pozdravim i jošj ednom Vam se zahvalim na Vašem velikom radu i trudu koji ste uložili da završimo ovaj projekat koji je zaista bio za mene lično veoma koristan i uspješan. Sve ovo što smo učili vrlo rado primjenjujem koristeći naravno i predhodno stečena zananja i iskustva.“

Postovani profesore, intezitet Vaseg interesovanja za nastavak naseg rada na programu je impresivan. Zasluzujete sve cestitke za posvecenost onome na cemu ste angazovani.

“I have expected much higher evaluation. My style of writing is more practical and looks like I have problem with academic writing which is your main observation. However, this style of mine has been graded with maximum mark by two other professors and I am a bit confused now…However, I still consider your lectures as one of the best I have ever attended to. They were very pragmatic and practical with, I have to confess, not too much academic approach.”

“Dragi Profesore, puno Vam hvala za Vas trud i ocenivanje. Iskreno Vam se zahvaljujem za Vasu podrsku u mojim kriticnim trenutcima kada sam bilo vrlo razocarana, i recimo, donekle, lagje potonule. Ja sam zajedno sa Vama uspela zavrsiti zadatak, … Ocena nije vazna uopste. Ipak, hvala vam za iskreno ocenvanje. Hvala vam iz dubine duse. Zivi nam bili za vekove.”

“Dear Professor Ivanovic, thank you very much for your very sincere and critical evaluation of my assessment. Thanks to your lecturing and tasks on assessment I have gained a lot of knowledge’s on HRM in general which will be very helpful for my further work in Industry. One more time, thank you for your comments, and I find very helpful to improve my academic writing because as 28 year experienced engineer in Industry I am finding difficulties to express my knowledge on academic writing which is also my next task to be improved as soon as possible because of other assessments and Master Thesis. Thank you for kind encouragement.”

“Mogu Vam reci da su mi predavanja dosta pomogla, ali zaista. Osnovna razlika je da na neki novi nacin gledam i ljude i procese u firmi, i mnogo mi pomaze sve sto sam cuo na predavanjima da procenim i ljude i vreme i sve sto se desava oko mene. Dodatno, vec polako slazem koncept price za svoj ILM rad”

Naučeno na predavanjima veoma uspesno prenosim na svoje okruženje i to sto sam naucio, uklopilo se već u meni, tako da to sada primenjujem mahinalno i vidim da ima uspjeha.”

Uvaženi profesore Ivanoviću, po završetku kursa Mali biznis – osnove uspeha, koji je bio organizovan na ECPD – u u Beogradu, ne mogu a da ne napišem nekoliko rečenica o svojim utiscima. Nakon dugo godina rada u obrazovanju bila sam učesnik velikog broja seminara, treninga, kurseva, edukativnih radionica i prvi put, iako ovo nije moja naučna oblast jer sam po obrazovanju diplomirani biolog, sam u potpunosti zadovoljna načinom i organizacijom predavanja, komunikacijom, a vreme koje sam provela nisam ni osetila. Ceo kurs mi je veoma pomogao da shvatim i na pravi način razumem osnovni koncept malog biznisa, razumem biznis plan, SWOT analizu, da napravim lični plan razvoja i sve ono što je bilo tema kursa. Cilj kursa je u potpunosti realizovan. Veliko hvala što sam imala priliku da učestvujem i nadam se nekom novom treningu!

Poštovani profesore Ivanoviću, dozvolite mi najpre, da se najsrdačnije zahvalim na ukazanoj mogućnosti da pohadjam kurs Mali biznis-osnovi uspeha u periodu od 15 do 16 decembra 2018. 17 . Od Vas smo mogli da čujemo i naučimo mnoge interesantne i korisne stvari, koje možda i nismo mogli pročitati u knjigama ili čuti na redovnim predavanjima. Iskreno se nadam da će biti prilike da ponovo pohadjamo neki sličan Kurs u organizaciji ECPD-a.

“… I had a meeting Monday (21st Jan 2019) with Professor Ivanovic to discuss my thesis. We probably spend more than 3 hours, and I must say, it was a great pleasure to meet Professor Ivanovic as a person and equally as a professor. Professor Ivanovic and I, we have exchanged ideas in relation to my thesis; discussed my interest on the subject and I have received great number of tips from the Professor, in terms of taking this further. We have decided: I do some more research, and start feeding the outcome into one paper, so that I can go back to Professor, prior presenting ECPD with the thesis proposal. The idea of this email was to inform you how pleased I am to have Professor Ivanovic as a mentor.
