Summary

Most enterprises regard strategic assessments, analysis, and forethought as mainstays in crafting a successful business strategy to gain a competitive edge. However, ignoring the organisation’s core competencies and the intangibility that people, culture, and psychological factors bring in is often ignored. This leads to gaps in strategy formulation and impedes an organisation’s ability to execute strategies. A consequence of this is a gap between strategic intent and outcomes.

On average, 44 percent of strategic initiatives are unsuccessful, with $109 million wasted for every $1 Billion invested in strategic projects and programs. (source: The Project Management Institute)

The Strategy Formulation and Execution programme offers comprehensive practical solutions, tools, and proven frameworks to help you craft and execute a winning strategy. The programme comprehensively covers shifts in resources, structures, processes, and systems that overcome common challenges of strategy crafting and implementation to meet your organisation’s strategic goals.

ISB’s Strategy Formulation and Execution programme will help you leverage your organisation’s core competencies to secure competitive advantage while extending your strategic thinking to multiple lines of business. The programme arms senior business executives with the strategic proficiency to distinguish between good and bad strategies. It also furthers the understanding of the link between design and business models.

The programme deeply analyses strategic trade-offs across multiple strategic options while aligning your resources, activities, and capabilities with your strategic goals. Through the programme, you will engage with a diverse community of peers who can provide new insights and perspectives into your business challenges. Get a deeper understanding of strategic thinking through exemplar case studies and business simulations.
