Running an organisation in a volatile, uncertain environment requires leaders to think strategically beyond day-to-day tactical operations. Being able to develop strategic business plans that leverage external and internal factors that form the basis for formulating winning strategies is key to business success and sustainability.
This programme will equip senior managers with the skills to scan the environment, understand customer buying factors, formulate and execute strategies that drives results.

They will be competing with other teams in the learning environment to be the most profitable company.

The experiential, risk-free hands-on approach to learning will reduce the time taken to build strategic thinking and planning skills.
