​Strategic planning and policy development

Are you in the process of defining or redefining your direction and making decisions regarding resource allocation to achieve your vision? We can complete a detailed strategic planning process; culminating in the development of a strategic plan. We can extend our services to the implementation and evaluation of this plan. 

Policy development has been an integral element of our experience at Jahn Health Consultancy. We follow a comprehensive policy development process that includes:

1. identifying and understanding the problem/issue to be addressed in the policy
2. establishing a committee to assist in the development process (if necessary)
3. prepare a policy development process plan, which includes the detail of what tasks need to be done, by when and by whom
4. conduct research (e.g. other relevant policies, legislation and frameworks, meetings with staff and stakeholders, questionnaires, reading relevant documentation)
5. preparation of a discussion paper that explains the nature of the problem/issue, summarises the information obtained by research and presents policy options
6. consultation with staff and stakeholders on the discussion paper (e.g. written feedback, meetings, workshops)
7. preparation of a draft policy
8. consultation with staff and stakeholders on the draft policy
9. refinement of the policy
10. presentation of the policy to Management for adoption
11. communicating the policy to relevant parties 
12. monitoring and evaluation of the policy.
