STRATEGY EXECUTION (2 SCU)

Learning Outcomes:

The Strategy Execution course is about strategy in action, both on generic and digital business strategies. 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. Upon successful completion of the course, students are expected to be able to evaluate strategy and strategic management process, apply ranges of analytical tools and the integrative point of view from corporate perspective, appraise organizational capability in executing strategy, and evaluate the execution of business strategy.

Topics:

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. In order to accomplish the learning objectives, the course of strategy execution will cover wide ranges of topics including strategy execution framework, balanced scorecard, agility in strategy execution, governance in strategy execution, measuring performance in execution, managing change in execution and execution in learning organization.
