Course Overview
An organization without a strategy is like a ship without a rudder. How can organizations continue to provide exceptional value to stakeholders and customers if they are not clear on where they are heading and how they will get there? The answer is they can't. This is where the role of strategy becomes essential. The strategy is about setting ambitious goals, understanding the surrounding current and future environment and providing a sense of direction for the organization.
In this course, we will cover the 7 steps of the strategy management process, starting with the 'thinking' components of strategy, moving into the ‘analysis’ and 'planning' components and ending with 'execution'. At the end of the course, participants will be able to implement or improve the strategic process at their organizations to reach their vision and achieve their mission.
