Integrating Strategic, Operational
& Tactical Leadership for
Outstanding Performance

Why some organizations fail to stay competitive in the market and what key factors enable an organisation achieve outstanding results in the modern world?

One of most important reason is that they have no framework to overcome the challenge of Strategy Execution. They do not have the strategic awareness, skills and knowledge and what this entails in terms of Strategy Implementation. Professionals need the knowledge, skills and attitude to get from strategy to tactical execution while achieving results that align with the organization’s goals and plans. To achieve this organization must understand how to link strategies to operational and technical objectives by developing a Performance Management System that Collect, Analyse and Report Information regarding the performance of the organization.

This intensive and highly engaging 10 day Anderson programme covers the complete spectrum from powerful strategy development and formulation, creating dynamic operational structures, systems, processes, and resources to execute the strategy; operational leadership to support front-line managers and employees by creating the conditions to help them succeed; and finally to actually lead and manage tactically on the front-line.  The training course integrates the most powerful methods for building and leading dynamic, adaptable, and highly competitive teams and organisations.
