Handling the Strategy Development (SDD) units properly

For a better orientation within the content, we use three main approaches: we developed a visual guide by icons, which you can find on every page that belongs to a work step. Moreover, we reduced the amount of text to ease your focus on the task. We linked further material or guidelines to do the course as a multiplier and developed examples, of how the learning outcomes can look like.

The structure of the SDD modules is always the same, so that you do not waste time on understanding a new structure.

Module	Unit	Title
SDD1		Initiation phase – Identification of principles and ideas
	1.1	Mission, vision and values

	2.2	Stakeholder analysis
SDD3		Analysis II – Defining concrete strategies
	3.1	Decision for concrete strategic options
	3.2	Finalisation of the strategy plan
SDD4		Construction I – Goals and indicators
	4.1	Definition of goals
	4.2	Development of a Balanced Scorecard (BSC)
SDD5		Construction II – Planning
	5.1	Phase planning and milestone plan
	5.2	Definition of first steps

Each module starts with an introduction. It contains an overview of the content, the definition of the learning goals, materials you need to do the module and further information for multipliers. After this opening, there follow always two units. The units deliver instructions for multipliers and single learners, necessary information to do the required tasks and the tasks themselves. You find a task always behind the expression “Your Turn!“. The mentioned examples help you to understand also complex challenges. At the end of each module, we included a short self-assessment. Here is the place to reflect on the solutions you found and deepen your learning process.
