National Development Planning & Vision Execution
Turn national visions and plans into delivered results.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Every layer of national development planning has an owner, and no layer has accountability: units report outputs, the ministry reports progress, and citizens report nothing changing. Public trust is spent not in one scandal but in ten thousand unkept national development planning promises — each small enough to deny, and large enough to remember. The programme equips you to sequence reform, manage the politics and defend the evidence — the full craft of national development planning that gets delivered.

The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Initiative That Worked in Three Districts
One district doubles immunisation coverage using data, supervision and modest incentives; neighbouring districts with the same national development planning budget stagnate. The ministry wants to scale it before the next audit cycle.
Your decision: Decide what to scale, what to formalise, and what scaling will destroy if done clumsily.
IPAT Data Lab™
The national development planning data at a ministry of finance measures activity; nobody measures delivery.
Dataset: Synthetic administrative and survey data for a ministry of finance — the two sources disagree.
Your task: Reconcile the sources, build the delivery dashboard, and defend it before a faculty "cabinet".
A national development planning delivery dashboard that resists gaming.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
