COURSE OVERVIEW
This course will provide you with a process for developing a clear understanding of your business’s culture, operations, and market position, while facilitating the development of a strategic blueprint for gaining the competitive advantage necessary for your business’s success, now and in the future.
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 are 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 drive results.
Participants will have a chance to turn around an unprofitable business through the use of computer-based simulation.  They will be competing with other teams in the learning environment to be the most profitable company.  This would involve formulating strategy, performing competitive analysis and making investment decisions that will drive success in their respective businesses.  The experiential, risk-free hands-on approach to learning will reduce the time taken to build strategic thinking and planning skills.
