Strategic Management Training:
Planning, Implementing and Managing an Effective Strategy

Open (Public) Courses	£599 (£539 with Early Bird discount)
In Company Delivery	£2,200 (plus expenses)

Planning, implementing and managing strategy are critical drivers of the success of an organisation. They have almost equal importance in realising the value of a good strategy. Many organisations do not fully understand the importance of aligning effective planning, exceptional implementation, and careful, adaptive strategy management however. Because of this, they diminish their strategic success and put at risk their competitive advantage. The remedy is effective strategic management training and knowledge of a robust process and framework.

During this intensive, two-day programme we provide a comprehensive introduction to an end-to-end approach to strategic planning, implementation and management. Based on proven best practices, we consider the importance of governance, risk, culture and the ability to change to an effective strategy. Participants explore thinking, processes, tools, techniques and methods that underpin the ‘strategic maturity’ of an organisation and, ultimately, support strategic success and realisation of competitive advantage.

How will my company or organisation benefit from strategic management training?

Without a robust approach to strategic planning, implementation and management, 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.

• 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.
