The program is pragmatic in that participants learn the strategic planning method while simultaneously applying it to their real-world business needs. The target audience for this course is the leadership team of a business, business unit, or organization or individuals in roles that require them to define their organization’s strategy. The benefits of this course are:
- Participants learn a strategic planning process they can replicate each year thereby making their plans more compelling and rigorous with less effort than ad hoc planning efforts
