Topics

Strategy Execution course is about Strategy in action. Whereas crafting strategy is largely a market driven activity, implementing or executing strategy is primarily an operation driven activity revolving around the management of people and business process. Strategy Execution depends on doing a good job of working with and through others, building and strengthening competitive capabilities, motivating and rewarding people in a strategy supportive manner, and instilling a discipline of getting things done. The course focuses on ways to close the gap between strategy formulation and execution, between expectations and results. The best strategy is not enough unless a whole series of supporting moves puts that plan into effect.
