Who is it for?

Senior managers who wish to substantially increase their strategic capability, or those aspiring to careers in strategy. This course is appropriate to all organisations, both large and small, and of any type.

How will my company or organisation benefit?

Without a robust approach to strategy, organisations run the very real risk of catastrophic failure. For this reason alone there is a compelling reason to address this gap.

Additionally, market analysts, investors and financiers are paying increasing attention, and applying increasing weight, to the strategic capabilities (and maturity) of organisations. An organisation that thinks about, plans and manages strategy well represents reduced risk and is increasingly attractive and sought-out.

Why does this programme stand out?

  • Calibre and credentials of course leaders – professional strategists with significant real-world, global experience in a wide variety of sectors. Our course leaders have been there and done it.
  • Our content selection is based upon what actually works and is used to great effect by the top strategic operators in the market. We do not teach emerging theoretical academic models with little evidence of practical application or proven value.
  • Experiential learning – all concepts, tools and techniques are explored through the use of case studies.
  • The calibre of other participants – the majority of our participants are existing or emerging leaders in their particular fields, and add significant value to group discussions.
  • Ongoing peer networks between participants and presenters – through our private Linkedin group and regular social events including private dinners, drinks, racing, rugby, sailing and shooting days we promote and support the development of peer networks between participants.
