Solutions do not just present themselves, problems do not simply go away, plans do not spring up in perfect detail out of a good nights sleep, and innovative solutions to problems do not come from audit checklists, programs and risk and control matrices: today's world of risk is not like that.

More and more organizations are teaching their key people to think strategically. This makes for more efficient planning, smoother transitions in the time of change and fewer insoluble problems. This course will show you the techniques and set you on the road to efficient and clever strategic thinking and solutions development as part of your Internal Audit program.

This seminar will enable you to understand the techniques required to think strategically and get out of "out of date" thinking in order to develop innovative solutions.

The techniques and approaches covered will include:

• Collaborative Solutions Development,
• Root Cause Analysis,
• SWOT Analysis,
• Downward Thinking,
• And others.

You will learn to apply these techniques to prepare a competitive analysis of the auditee's department with recommendations for strategic improvements based on an industry analysis and an understanding of the company's current operations, as well as, evaluate the department in terms of its core competencies.
