Training Overview

Training Overview

In this Leading & Managing through Strategic Planning & Innovation training course, both strategic leaders and frontline professionals will learn how to develop, implement, and structure the necessary changes to ensure a new strategy, vision, or mission succeeds in today’s ever-changing environment. The first week focuses on creating the core strategies and plans to help the organization achieve its vision or goals. In week two, the course delves deeper into organizational development, teaching techniques to engage the workforce in embracing changes and actively contributing to problem-solving and the implementation of new strategies. It is highly recommended that strategic leaders attend both weeks.

Effective strategic leadership is crucial for the long-term success of any organization. It begins with defining a clear strategic vision—outlining the leadership team’s intent for the organization and its various sectors. This vision must then be translated into a practical agenda for action, which goes beyond a simple 'strategic plan' to become a roadmap that not only directs where the business needs to go but also empowers managers at all levels to make informed decisions in alignment with the organization’s overall direction.

 

Modules

This training course is split into two modules:

Module I - Strategic Planning, Development & Implementation

Module II - Certificate in Smart Leadership

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Develop the three key strategic agendas for leaders – Intellectual, Managerial and Behavioural
  • Identify the most effective balance of Operational Excellence and Breakthrough Strategic Performance
  • Identify critical strategic issues and opportunities
  • Practice and encourage your people to think differently and workout new initiatives and innovate
  • Change your environment to support your new strategic initiatives

Who is this Training Course for?

  • Directors and Senior Managers
  • Team Leaders
  • Corporate Strategy, HR and Other Functional Managers
  • Heads of Division
  • Heads of Department

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course includes a wide range of techniques used to teach an understanding on how an organization gains their market edge by developing new ideas that outperform all competitors in their markets. These ideas, often called "Blue Ocean Strategies", together with traditional methods used to develop innovative plans, are facilitated in a combination of team activities, videos, and case studies facilitated by a very experienced strategic planning consultant.
