This course is ideal for experienced strategists who wish to be updated on the most modern approaches to implementing a successful strategy in the short, medium and long term.

It is designed for those with experience to have the opportunity to revise, refresh and confirm what they are doing is the best for their organization.

This course highlights and gives practical tips on the crucial qualities and skills required to lead, manage and implement a successful strategy. The large majority of strategies fail, frequently during implementation.

We address the importance of committed leadership, supported by and supporting robust management. The ability of organizations and individuals to adapt and change is now the norm – not the exception.

So, we will analyse the on-going change from three perspectives: firstly, introducing a new strategy; secondly, adapting the strategy to changing circumstances and thirdly, reacting to abrupt and unexpected circumstances.

We will analyse how to “think the unthinkable” and anticipate risks and crises so that they can be professionally managed, when and if they arise.

The course will wrap with a summary of the key learning points, followed by an action planning exercise with a view to apply the acquired knowledge and skills immediately upon your return to work. Post-course support is also available in relation to the implementation of your action plan, up to six (6) months following course completion.
