Certificate in Strategy Excellence:
From Strategic Vision to Tactical Execution

This Certificate in Strategy Excellence: From Strategic Vision to Tactical Execution training course offers a comprehensive approach to understanding strategy formulation and implementation. It presents professionals and leaders with the opportunity to effectively translate strategy into streamlined operational performance. Strategy Focused Organizations (SFOs) demand a robust execution framework that facilitates both long and short-term planning cycles, strategically and financially. This framework supports all management processes, ensuring continual performance review, evaluation, and tracking of the effectiveness of strategic initiatives. The course establishes the foundation for integrating strategy, planning, operations, and risk onto a unified platform.

Yet, a sound strategy alone isn't sufficient for success—it necessitates a proven execution model to actualize the organizational vision. In 2006, the Monitor Group's survey of Senior Executives revealed that "Strategy Execution" ranked as their top priority. Subsequent surveys have consistently shown that 60 to 80 percent of companies fall short of their strategic plan targets due to poor execution. Professors Robert Kaplan and David Norton, renowned for their work on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Strategy Execution, conducted a survey highlighting that most organizations lack formal systems to support strategy execution.
