Introduction Key Learning Outcomes Training Methodology Who Should Attend? Outline

Introduction

Effective strategy is not defined by planning alone, but by the ability to execute consistently across the organisation. Many strategies fail not because of poor intent, but due to weak alignment, unclear communication, inadequate measurement, or an inability to adapt to changing conditions. Strategic planning and execution require a structured approach that connects vision, objectives, people, processes, and performance.

The Certificate in Strategic Planning and Execution training course provides a practical, step-by-step framework for developing strategy and translating it into action. Participants explore how to build clear vision and long-term plans, align objectives across functions, engage stakeholders, and track progress using meaningful performance measures. The course emphasises learning, adaptation, and strategic agility to ensure plans remain relevant and executable in dynamic environments.

Key focus areas include:

Strategic analysis, planning, and prioritisation
