WHAT IT IS?
Strategy your organisation builds, and therefore owns
The Systems Strategy Programme brings your leaders and experts together to diagnose a complex problem and build the strategy to resolve it — guided by our systems practitioners and sector expert co-facilitators, and captured live on our in-house platform.
It is designed for organisations whose hardest challenges are systemic: where past plans underdelivered, where departments hold competing views, and where a strategy is only as good as the ownership behind it.

Leadership teams
The output
Ministries, agencies, and public institutions setting policy or transformation strategy for a complex mandate.
Corporations and boards facing persistent strategic problems that resist conventional planning.
Executive teams that need genuine alignment — not a report — before committing to a direction.
A board-ready strategic plan, transformation roadmap, corporate strategy, or policy strategy.
HOW IT WORKS?
A consultation, not a package
We don't sell a fixed number of days. We begin by listening, design the programme around your problem, then deliver and validate it — so you commit to a programme built for you, with full clarity on scope and cost before any workshop begins.
We meet your leadership to understand the problem, the aspiration, and the strategic document you need.
Stage 1 : Scope
The commitment gate
Stage 2 : Design
We configure the modules, cohort, duration, and cost — and confirm them before any workshop.
Nothing proceeds to a workshop until you approve the Programme Design Document — the configured modules, cohort, duration, timetable, and cost. You commit with a full and precise picture of what you are buying, and why.
Stage 3 : Develop
Your selected team builds the strategy with us through the eight-module Lab (Phase 1).
Top management reviews and endorses the findings at a structured Open Day (Phase 2).
Stage 4 : Validate
Stage 5 : Finalise
We deliver the final strategic document and your complete knowledge record.
THE ENGAGEMENT?
Two phases, and an Open Day that earns endorsement
Delivery runs in two phases, with Binaskil drafting the strategic document in between — so your team builds the analysis, and we do the writing.
Phase 1
Strategy Development Lab
An intensive, facilitated programme that carries your cross-functional team through our eight-module Group Model Building framework — from problem definition to a full delivery and MEL plan.
-
Problem definition, systems analysis, and hypothesis development
-
Issue analysis, theory of change, and intervention design
-
Structured delivery planning and MEL design
Phase 2 · Validation & Open Day
The core team first stress-tests the draft. Then, at the Open Day, top management and the wider organisation review the findings and provide structured feedback. The Open Day is not a ceremony — it is a structured feedback and endorsement mechanism that gives the strategy its final tests and creates public commitment to it. That feedback is compiled into the final strategic document.
The strategy earns its endorsement
Interim
Binaskil converts the Lab's outputs — drawn directly from the platform record — into a full draft strategic document, written to board standard.
-
Diagnosis, causal map, and strategic hypotheses
-
Theory of change and intervention portfolio
-
Delivery plan, MEL framework, and full annexes
Document development
WHAT YOU RECEIVE?
What your organisation holds at the end
Endorsed by top management, and built by your own people — a complete strategy and the alignment to deliver it.
01
A board-ready five-year plan, transformation roadmap, corporate or policy strategy — validated by your top management.
The Strategic Document You Need
02
An explicit results chain from action to outcome to impact, with stated assumptions — showing any board or funder why the strategy will work.
A Theory of Change

Interventions ranked by systemic leverage, each with its rationale, owner, and evidence requirements.
A Prioritised Intervention Portfolio
04
Targets, trajectories, delivery chains, and routines that keep execution on course after we leave.
A structured Delivery Plan
05
Indicators drawn from the theory of change, so the strategy is managed and adapted, not filed.
A Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Framework
06
Every contribution your people made, captured and structured on our platform — a standing organisational asset.
A Complete Knowledge Compendium
08
A team that has learned systems thinking and structured problem solving by using them on a challenge that matters.
A Transferred Capability
07
Leaders united around one shared model of the problem — the strongest predictor of execution success.
An Aligned Leadership Team
DURATION & INVESTMENT
Scoped to your problem — and priced only once it's designed
This programme has no pre-set number of days. The duration of each phase depends on the complexity of your assignment: the number and nature of the issues, the breadth of stakeholders, and the depth of validation your leadership requires.
We advise the number of days, and the investment, only after the programme is designed. Following the scoping consultation, we present the Programme Design Document setting out scope, schedule, and cost together — so you commit with no surprises, and nothing is quoted before value is clear.
