Strategy Playbook Act Two: Successful Strategic Integration

scroll_arrow

Align strategic thinking with tactical planning and execution

To survive and prosper in today’s disruptive business environment, organizational leaders must not only formulate the correct strategy, but also implement it effectively. 
 
This program integrates the best practices of strategic thinking, planning and execution into a fully aligned game plan. Convert the strategic vision into effective operational and tactical implementation plans. Create performance-oriented guidelines to help staff execute strategic goals, and ensure that business activities link back to the overall strategy. 

Note: Strategy Playbook Act One covers the fundamental concepts, tools and practices of strategy, while Strategy Playbook Act Two looks at strategy execution. There is no overlap between them, but together they form a natural progression of learning.
