CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
This highly participative EuroMaTech training course will help you to understand the interaction between strategy development and strategy execution. The process of strategizing involves developing a clear vision, SMART objectives and the plans to deliver short, medium and long-term goals. In addition, the course clarifies the importance of ‘soft’ skills, including leadership and communication, to ensure that strategies and plans are adopted and implemented across the organisation. The whole approach delivers an aligned organisation with every role working together towards the same goal.
The focus is on how to develop strategic business plans which can be readily implemented. Participants will discover the importance of aligning the organisation to the strategy by engaging with stakeholders, communicating effectively internally and externally, measuring progress, and making tactical adjustments along the way. We will also address effective ways of evaluating how well the objectives have been achieved, ensuring lessons are learned, and success is celebrated.
