Developing the Strategic Manager
is a two-day course for experienced managers in all functions who are looking to move to the next level, or better integrate their organisations strategy into their operational responsibilities. This course is designed to be relevant to private, public, and third sector organisations.

Do more than just ‘manage’ – be a strategist. You can now reward yourself with a fast-track understanding of the most important and effective strategic processes, ideas, tools and techniques, for creating your organisation’s future.

During times of dramatic change and increasing uncertainty, when over 60% of UK businesses are changing their strategies, it is even more important to link your operational responsibilities to the strategy of your organisation. The Developing the Strategic Manager course is practical and hands on, and shows how strategy, change management, culture change, and the business plan are all interdependent.

You’ll return to work armed with specialist knowledge of what’s needed, and expected, of a forward-thinking manager. You’ll also take on a wealth of skills and theory training; enabling you to improve your strategic thinking and decision-making. You’ll gain further proficiency in evaluating different strategic choices open to your organisation; engage your team members in organisational goals, on the back of practical and interactive group work, and action planning. You’ll also adapt faster to new opportunities and develop
new insights for greater strategic implementations.
