Training Course Overview
In today’s fast-paced and unpredictable business landscape, organizations that thrive are those capable of making timely, evidence-based decisions grounded in a thorough understanding of both internal operations and external influences. Strategic analysis tools such as PESTLE (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental) and SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) are well-established for their effectiveness in environmental scanning, evaluating internal capabilities, and supporting sound strategic planning.
