  • 90-minute live session delivered virtually or in-person (Perfect for use as part of a blended learning programme)

  • This is available for groups and teams

  • Part of our Core Library

The decisions made, at every level, throughout an organisation ideally link to its strategy to help ensure that everybody’s heading in the same direction.
Regional, divisional, departmental, and even team strategies may also exist; what’s key is that each level is aligned with the primary, corporate strategy and that every employee knows how to link their day-to-day activities to the relevant strategy (or strategies).
This practical, interactive 90-minute session will help you understand the concept of strategy and provide you with tools to start exploring (and potentially evolving) the strategy for your own area of responsibility. 

 

  • Is the concept of strategy somewhat a mystery?
  • Do you know what the current strategy is for your organisation or business area?
  • Do you need to understand why you do what you do and how your decisions affect broader organisational goals? 
  • Identify the key steps in the strategic process
  • Apply strategic analysis tools to your own area of responsibility
  • Translate your company’s strategic objectives into concrete goals and tasks that are relevant to your day-to-day work
