Training Overview

Training Overview

This Coventry Academy training course offers a comprehensive approach to understanding how strategy is created and executed effectively. It provides professionals and leaders with the tools to transform strategy into efficient operational performance. A Strategy Focused Organization (SFO) requires a robust execution model that supports both long-term and short-term planning, integrating strategic and financial elements.

The execution model will facilitate continuous performance evaluation and track the effectiveness of strategic initiatives. This training course establishes a cohesive framework linking strategy, planning, operations, and risk management on a single platform.

Simply having a good strategy is insufficient for success; it necessitates a proven execution model to realize the organizational vision. Research indicates that “Strategy Execution” is often cited as a top priority among senior executives. Surveys show that 60 to 80 percent of companies fail to meet their strategic targets due to inadequate execution. Insights from experts like Professor Robert Kaplan and David Norton highlight that many organizations lack formal systems to effectively execute their strategies.
