Strategy Execution Training
Two versions of Strategy Execution Training will be available, both as public training and as on-site training – a 3-day Strategy Execution Associate course, and a 5-day Strategy Execution Professional course. The course program is organized around five strategy execution “Imperatives” – areas that we and other experts have found challenges with strategy implementation and where focused attention can mitigate the challenges and provide a greater chance of successful strategy implementation and improved organization performance excellence. The program recognizes that “one size does not fit all”, and that each organization is unique requires a customized Roadmap to succeed. The first three days of the course cover the basics of strategy execution, and the last two days cover advanced topics and require the completion of a Roadmap project for each delegate.
Strategy Execution Consultation
Every client’s strategy execution maturity level is different. For this reason, Strategy Execution consulting services are designed to support each client’s unique needs – those who are just getting started to understand their strategy execution capabilities to strategically mature organizations trying to adopt best practices and make continuous improvements to their processes. The end goal is to leave the client with observations, specific recommendations, and tools and techniques that can be applied to improve organization excellence, and to ensure that performance management becomes and remains a formal enterprise capability
