Business Strategy

Translating Strategy into Action

Our research indicates that 70% of strategic plans fail to be executed, most commonly due to cultural blocks. This program is for leaders who are ready to take strategy to the next level by increasing their knowledge and strengthening the skills needed to transform strategic planning into effective doing.

Overview

In this program, you will learn how to identify and overcome challenges in the process of implementing strategy. Sessions cover a number of topics such as convincing key stakeholders, building diverse teams, engaging with the right people, knowing when to stand your ground and when to adapt the plan, and looking beyond the vision to see what needs to evolve today to be prepared for a future further away. Teamwork, one-on-one tutor sessions and detailed action planning are all important aspects of this program that will help you shape strategic decisions and implement them when you return to the workplace.

Is this program for you?

This program is for mid-to senior-level managers who lead strategic decisions and are responsible for implementing them quickly and efficiently with impact. At the beginning of the program, you will define goals for real strategy projects that you would like to advance in your organization.
