Strategy Implementation Certification Workshop

LEADING TO MANAGEMENT CONSULTING INSTITUTE LEVEL 3 CERTIFICATION

INTRODUCTION

The relentless forces of changing customer needs, globalization, cost containment, deregulation, and technological change, combined with the drive for sustainable profitable growth require companies to continually rethink their business strategies. More than 70% of these new strategies are poorly implemented and have not been realized.

strategy-introduction

This course is about techniques and methodologies for improving the success rate of realizing the goals of a company’s newly formulated strategy. It is not about strategy formulation nor about strategy execution but the link (perhaps the missing link) between the two. This course is about developing the optimal design for executing and realizing that strategy using the REALIZETM Strategy Execution Methodology.

The course will combine learning in the classroom, case studies, readings and implementation simulations.
