Strategy
What is strategy?
Strategy should be the means by which an organisation achieves and sustains success, yet it rarely rises to that level, despite an abundance of corporate strategy theory and significant research from many organisations over the past few decades.
What explains the relative failure of most organisations to create effective strategy? Part of the problem is that organisations and their managers have great difficulty clearly and consistently defining what organisational strategy is never mind how to apply it.
What is included in our strategy courses?
Strategy programmes are bespoke but a typical programme might include the following for discussion:
- Strategy and corporate culture
Tools to shape strategy
Exploration of corporate culture - how it is, how it will be and how it could be - Strategy into action
Your role in shaping and delivering your company's strategy
Finding your personal value proposition and using it to create value
How your leadership style affects the dynamics and success of your organisation - The value chain framework
Analysing the specific activities through which you can create both value and competitive advantage - The strategic triangle
Corporation, customer, competition - Developing communities of practice for competitive
advantage
Learning from others to increase your value proposition - Positioning
Creating company, product and brand perception
Positioning for sustainable competitive advantage - Entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial approaches to
strategic management
Learning from government principles of reinvention - Strategy maps
