STRATEGIC VISIONING
|
|
It is all too easy in the hectic life of an executive, to become too caught up in the day to day operational issues of keeping your business on the road. Without a structured approach, the task of developing or reviewing an organisation or departmental strategy is difficult to approach.
This course provides a framework which will allow to step back, to review the current situation, and develop and review alternative future strategies. The techniques described and practised on the course include methods for developing pertinent, searching questions, analogical and metaphorical thinking, techniques of scenario cascading, strategic analysis and business modelling.
