Planning and Strategy Management

Overview

The organization without a strategy like a ship without a steering wheel. How can institutions continue to provide exceptional value to stakeholders and clients if their destination is not clear and do not know how to reach it? Answer: They can not. Here the role of strategy becomes essential. The strategy is focused on setting ambitious goals and understanding the current and future environment. This is the primary focus of this session.

This session will cover the seven steps of the strategy management process, from strategic "thinking" components to "planning" and "implementation". Participants at the end of the course will be able to implement or improve the strategic process in their institutions to reach the vision of the institution and achieve its mission.

Methodology

This course enables participants to develop each step of strategy management. Participants will act as CEOs to develop each strategic component of the institution of their choice. We will also discuss recent case studies in the strategy, including Starbucks, IKEA, Cirque du Soleil and other institutions in the Middle East.
