Training Course Overview

This Leading & Managing through Strategic Planning & Innovation training course caters to both strategic leaders and frontline professionals. It delves into the complexities of strategy development within dynamic environments, emphasizing effective communication and implementation for achieving business objectives.

The first week focuses on innovation and strategic planning, while the second week delves deeper into human and organizational factors crucial for problem-solving and teamwork, essential for successful strategy execution. Clear decision-making and strong leadership are pivotal for ensuring business sustainability and success.

The course incorporates both linear and creative approaches to strategy development, providing delegates with opportunities to enhance critical leadership skills. Spanning two weeks, it offers participants a solid foundation in strategic principles and planning. Strategic leaders are strongly encouraged to attend both weeks for maximum benefit.
