Advanced Strategic Planning For Directors (Directors Development Programme)

Advanced Strategic Planning for Directors provides clarity and support to Directors around their role and responsibilities. In particular, strategic thinking, decision making, planning, and execution.

Crucially, the module will give Directors a better understanding of strategic process and a renewed confidence around the formation, development and implementation of company-wide strategies. 

This 2-day module will provide delegates with the ability to lead more strategically, highlighting the role of the Director and the Board in the formation, mapping and execution of organisational strategy.

Through reference to leading research, current examples of best practice and case studies, this course will explore how to create, develop and deliver strategies that achieve company objectives and deliver real value for the broader organisation.  

Through the knowledge and experience of the course leader and your peers, you will be encouraged to consider your own role alongside the Board, discussing relevant issues, challenges and solutions.
