It will cover a wide range of topics including leadership, efficiency, strategy, profitability, planning and measurement.

Programme outline
Strategic management
You need to become a key member of the strategy team at every level of the organisation. This means improving and using your knowledge of strategy tools (such as the balanced scorecard) and strategic decision making (how to allocate funds to the best opportunities) to enhance the strategy process. This workshop will teach you:

  • mission, vision, values and strategy - what are they and how should they drive the organisation
  • how to define success in terms of aspirational goals at every level of the organisation
  • how to identify and focus on intangible assets and key value drivers to improve performance
  • how to use the three classic customer value propositions to agree your strategic position and align processes and measures
  • differing growth strategies and strategic audit tools - PEST, SWOT, Ansoff’s Matrix, Porter’s growth strategies, etc.
  • shareholder value - what it is, how it is measured and what drives it
  • different categories of business risk and applying these to management and investment decisions
  • hands on case study evaluating business and strategic risk within a business case

The course starts at 9.30am. Lunch and refreshments are included.
