The Certified Strategist: Advanced Tools and Techniques
Overview:
Introduction
An efficient way to comprehend how strategy is developed and carried out is to take this Strategy Excellence training course. All professionals and leaders have the chance to learn how to translate strategy into effective operational performance. A thorough execution model that supports both long-term and short-term planning cycles, both strategically and financially, is necessary for Strategy Focused Organizations (SFO). The execution model will support all management procedures in order to track and analyze the success of strategic objectives as well as continuously review and evaluate performance. The foundation for connecting strategy, planning, operations, and risk on a single platform will be offered through this training course on strategy excellence.
A successful approach alone is insufficient. To realize the organizational goal, an effective execution model is needed. When asked what their top priority was in 2006, Senior Executives responded that "Strategy Execution" was their top priority. Numerous studies conducted over the past 20 years show that due to inadequate "Strategy Execution," 60 to 80 percent of organizations fall far short of the goals outlined in their strategic plan. The Gurus of BSC and Strategy Execution, Professor Robert Kaplan and David Norton, undertook a survey on the state of strategy execution and discovered that the majority of organizations lacked formal procedures to assist them in carrying out their strategies.
