Business Executives Academy London Strategic
Leadership And Management Workshop August 2014
Strategic Leadership and Management
International Workshop: 25th-29th August, 2014
Venue: London, United Kingdom
Workshop Overview
The success of any organization depends on developing and implementing an effective strategy. For this to happen appropriate strategic leadership is needed at different levels in the business. However, all too often strategic and business planning becomes an exercises consisting of extrapolating current activities into the future and hoping for the best with little overall leadership being provided.
With ever increasingly challenging business
environments, increased competition, technological change, rapidly increasing
customer expectations such passive, traditional approaches are unlikely to
ensure success. Recent research (from Stanford University and London School of
Economics) has confirmed that good strategic leadership and management is
directly linked to improved corporate performance measured in terms of
profitability, growth and survival.
Such leadership focuses on:
i) Setting robust strategic goals and targets;
ii) Ensuring people's responsibilities and work
are aligned to these goals and;
iii) Measuring strategic results.
In this workshop, delegates will learn practical
principles and concepts that will enhance their capacity for strategic
analysis, planning and the execution of strategic plans.
This workshop offers proven methods to develop a
strategic plan for an organization, or any part of an organization that may
require to set a strategic direction. The topics covered will help those who
are either directly responsible for developing plans or those people who want
to expand their perspective and understanding of strategy’s impact on their
work lives and the success of their organization. It is designed to provide a
perspective and vocabulary about strategy that enables participants to
constructively support the strategic direction of the organization and set the
goals of the organization.
