This will include progressing the agreement of strategic aims, discussing the issues and options related to those and a review of the priorities of the ISB; • Take the outputs from the workshop, and continue to engage with the Executive Committee to assist them in shaping the new strategy for the future direction of the agency, which will be agreed by the CEO/ExCom/ISB; • Facilitate a review of existing individual business areas' strategies to assess whether they support the findings from the strategic review, assist in the identification of any gaps and make recommendations to any areas that require future development; • Working with the Executive Committee, map, at a high level, the numerous change activities/projects that will to enable us to deliver the strategy; • Set out a framework of next steps as to how the findings from the strategic review can be used going forward to develop a Strategic Business Plan and Spending Review business case; and • Produce a written report, supported by a presentation, that clearly articulates the agreed future strategy, a summary of how existing strategies align to this, which areas the agency needs to develop further to achieve the future strategy and how the strategy work should be taken forward as part of the development of a Strategic Business Plan and Spending Review bc
