What You Will Learn
Strategic success is the holy grail of owner-principals, CEOs, partners, and senior executives.
However, the challenges of an ever-increasing competitiveness mean that the shrug-and-smile
approach to delivering on business objectives has all but vanished. Today’s business leaders
have to account for: global and local competition, organisational resilience, staffing shortages,
increased risk and uncertainty, accelerating social, economic and technological change.
Despite strategy being the most potent ingredient for superior performance, very few
organisations manage the strategic process well. They have to deal with an uncertain world
where the only certainty in a plan is that events will never follow the plan. In this highly
interactive program, you will improve your understanding on which dimensions of business link
strategy to activities. To not only survive but thrive in an uncertain world requires creating and
setting a plan that people can use because action is the only precursor to success.
If you want to learn real-world strategy, not just textbook theory; understand what really
happens in the boardroom, in the executive suite and on the front line where the workers have
to make it happen; and learn what you need to know to become a supercharged strategy
specialist, then you have to request this program be conducted in your organisation by the
advisor, coach, and mentor of many senior executives in Fortune 1000 companies around the
world.
Every one of our training programs is uniquely designed and tailored to meet your specific
circumstances and objectives.
