Senior managers need to make good strategic decisions, but many lack the in-depth knowledge and understanding of the most useful tools and techniques of strategy analysis.
They may have come across concepts such as industry analysis and competitive advantage, but are unsure of the ways in which these concepts can be used to enhance strategic decision-making.
During this intensive, two-day workshop we provide in-depth professional training in the most useful tools and techniques, giving attendees a practical, rigorous foundation in strategy analysis that may be applied to enhance strategic thinking and decision-making in a variety of situations.

Who is it for?
Senior managers involved in strategic decision-making, who want to understand the theory and the practical application of complex, proven tools that will help their organisation determine the best strategic course(s) of action. This topic is also popular with individuals from sales and marketing teams who need a grounding in key strategy tools and how to apply them.
How will my company or organisation benefit from strategic analysis training?
The only real way for an organisation to achieve its strategic objectives is through a thorough understanding of its competitive market, and its place in it. As managers progress from operational roles within an organisation, they need to develop new skills that will help them both gain and leverage this understanding. This course provides them with these skills.
This increased understanding raises the quality of the organisation’s strategic thought process, which is reflected in the outcomes of future strategic decisions.
