Strategy is key to ensuring your organisation’s survival and success.
Yet have you also found that strategies often remain nothing more than words on paper? Too often, they are not precise enough, making them difficult to translate into a plan and, later, into execution.
In this course, you will gain a fundamental understanding of how to work with strategies. You will acquire tools to bridge the gap between strategy as a planning and analytical tool and its implementation and execution in your daily practice.

About the course
In this course, we view strategy as a distinctive way of understanding organisations. With the methods and tools you receive, you will be able to link strategic work directly to the everyday realities of your organisation. You will get a thorough introduction to strategy and a broad overview of the main current trends reflecting the latest developments in the field.
We explore the principles of strategic practice and implementation, where you will be introduced to a range of theories, tools, and methods, as well as concrete cases. The subject is complex and multifaceted. Therefore, you will also contribute your own experiences with strategic practice and execution, so they can be analysed and discussed within the group.
After the course, you will be able to critically assess your strategic work, so you can make improvements and successfully carry out your implementations in the future.
