An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Strategy Analysis
Powerful Tools to Ensure Strategy Focus and Alignment to Drive Success
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
Strategic direction exists at multiple levels: for the entire enterprise, for specific divisions or departments, and for individual products, services, or projects. This comprehensive training gives you a proven method and practical tools to identify your most significant strategic issues and then concentrate all policies, plans, and actions on addressing them with precision. The result of applying these tools is the clear identification and definition of targeted solutions to meet critical business needs, coupled with a strong justification for the investment required to deliver them successfully.
In this intensive Strategy Analysis Course, you will learn a systematic approach to understanding the current state of your organisation, defining a compelling desired future state, and developing a pragmatic change strategy to bridge the gap and achieve the desired outcomes. A crucial component of this process is learning to assess and mitigate the risks inherent in any strategic change initiative, ensuring resilience and adaptability throughout the journey.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY
This training course employs a highly practical and engaging learning approach. Current, proven analysis methods and techniques are explained through short, focused presentations which are immediately followed by interactive, practical sessions. In these sessions, the knowledge gained is applied to real-world examples and complex case studies, solidifying understanding.
Rapid learning and skill acquisition are achieved through collaborative group work, detailed case study analysis, practical exercises, vibrant participant discussion, continuous facilitator interaction, and constructive feedback. This ensures that theoretical concepts are translated into actionable skills that can be applied immediately in the workplace.
TRAINING SUMMARY
This EuroMaTech Strategy Analysis training course provides a essential contextual framework to evaluate the certainty or uncertainty of potential strategic outcomes. The course emphasizes that when a change initiative has a highly predictable outcome, a clear, linear strategy can and should be planned and executed. Conversely, if the outcome of a change is less predictable—a common scenario in today's volatile environment—the strategy must be more adaptive, taking the form of a guiding vision while focusing on mitigating risk, testing critical assumptions, and remaining open to changing course based on new information.
As a result, analysts and managers who complete this training will feel confident and equipped to operate effectively in both predictable and highly unpredictable business environments. They will be able to provide the critical analysis needed to navigate ambiguity, justify strategic investments, and ensure that organizational efforts are precisely aligned with the most valuable opportunities for growth and success.
