An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Managing People & Strategy
Aligning Team Goals with Corporate Strategy
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
The discipline of Strategic Management is undergoing a profound and dynamic transformation. It is now widely established that a majority of strategic plans fail to achieve their intended goals, not due to flawed strategy itself, but because of the turbulent and unpredictable nature of the global market. Since most critical failures occur at the execution stage, it has become increasingly vital for managers at every level to master the art of achieving strategic objectives through their people.
Implementing these vital plans requires more than just following a roadmap; it demands navigating continuous change and market dynamics. This necessitates having people who are truly empowered to make decisions, take initiative, and deliver the results essential for fulfilling the organisational strategy. The modern leader must therefore pivot from merely managing "the numbers" to actively improving both the execution process and the strategy itself.
This EuroMaTech Managing People & Strategy training course provides the essential framework for this shift. Delegates will learn how to strategically manage their teams to implement necessary changes, expertly guide their people, and successfully achieve their key performance indicators, thereby bridging the critical gap between planning and execution.
Participants attending this People Management Course will develop the following competencies:
- Strategic Interpretation: Expertly interpreting both internal and external forces that shape and influence organisational strategy.
- Creating a Strategic Roadmap: Identifying and defining an effective strategic path forward by establishing a crystal-clear and compelling vision.
- Strategic Self-Awareness: Recognizing their own innate strategic leadership style, and learning to identify and adapt to the styles of others for greater influence.
- Vision Communication: Mastering the skills to effectively communicate that clear vision and proactively engage their people in the strategic journey.
- Empowerment and Preparation: Learning how to prepare effectively and genuinely empower their people to take ownership and drive towards the shared vision.
- Strategic Motivation: Demonstrating practical ways to motivate and inspire people towards the strategic 'light on the hill,' creating unwavering commitment.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
This Managing People & Strategy Course aims to help participants develop the following critical objectives:
- Identify, generate, and vigorously support effective strategic decisions at all levels throughout the organization to ensure alignment and commitment.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

- Team Leaders wishing to develop and enhance their strategic people management skills for greater impact.
- Managers who are directly responsible for the achievement of strategic objectives and KPIs.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY
This Managing People & Strategy training course will combine expert-led presentations with instructor-guided, interactive discussions that focus on the participants' individual workplace interests and challenges. These formal presentation sessions will be supported by practical exercises, relevant video material, and real-world case studies specifically chosen to stimulate discussion and provide maximum practical benefit.
Above all, the course leader will make extensive use of case examples and studies from issues in which they have been personally involved, providing authentic, firsthand insights into the challenges and solutions of managing people and strategy.
TRAINING SUMMARY
This unique EuroMaTech Managing People & Strategy training course covers the critical areas of strategic achievement through those responsible for its execution: people. While the strategic manager is held accountable, it is the people within the organisation who are truly responsible for delivering success. Therefore, achieving genuine engagement is not optional—it is essential, and it is built on a foundation of trust and influence developed through emotionally intelligent management.
The focus of this course is squarely on the management styles, behaviours, and concrete actions required to achieve effective engagement with those people tasked to achieve strategic objectives. This will include a detailed presentation and discussion of contemporary, leading-edge approaches to people management and engagement, demonstrating how traditional, outdated systems must be evolved to ensure strategic objectives not only succeed but that organisations are sustained and thrive in the long term.
