Strategic Planning, Development & Implementation

Effective strategic tools and skills are highly prized in corporate leaders. Forward-looking strategy formulation can make the difference between a profitable business and one that stagnates. This course explains how strategy allows a business – all at the same time – to rapidly deploy a coherent strategy, be totally customer focused, develop world-class people and continuously improve business processes/systems.

The ability to develop business strategies, such as strategic thinking or vision (which positions the future of the organization), then strategy development (what framework do we use to get there?) and then strategy implementation (take the organization from plan to action and to rethink on short notice) sets true leaders apart from their peers.

This course is designed to combine proven-by-practice methods with new insights and ideas from a wide range of current strategic thinking. Strategic planning places the emphasis on leadership. Leadership becomes key not who is the leader.
