This programme introduces a practical toolkit for delivering effective policy projects, at pace.
Over two days, you will apply that toolkit through a live FCDO case study, using structured problem-solving to move from problem definition to recommendation.
We will cover tools to help you define the problem, structure the work, analyse evidence, compare options, plan implementation and communicate clearly.
The course is designed to be hands-on: you will practise using the tools rather than just hearing about them. You will leave with a stronger understanding of how to approach fast-moving project work in a clear, structured and evidence-led way.
The course is highly interactive, and covers the following modules:
- Module 1: Kick-off & scoping a project
- Module 2: Structuring the problem
- Module 3: Data & analysis
- Module 4: Generating hypotheses
- Module 5: Options appraisals & modelling
- Module 6: Implementation planning
- Module 7: Communicating recommendations
- Module 8: Process improvement & PDSA cycles
