Course Summary

This GLOMACS Oxford Advanced Strategy for Directors & Leaders training course is designed at high level to offer delegates opportunities to reflect on current economic and geopolitical turmoil and how it affects organisational strategy. Senior leaders must make decisions without the benefit of a crystal ball. Directors must consider the external uncertainties together with their organisational capabilities, to steer their organisations for maximum benefit. They must also involve their key stakeholders, both internal and external, in making sustainable choices.

Strategy describes an organisation’s direction of travel – its intended destination and its chosen approach for getting there. In times of turmoil, the external uncertainties are great. Directors have to make difficult decisions on which the future prosperity of their organisation depends. This highly interactive training course offers delegates opportunities for discussion and debate, making use of well-known strategic analysis tools, to enhance the strategic choices for their organisations.

The Oxford Advanced Strategy for Directors & Leaders training course will highlight:

  • An understanding of the complexities of strategy development and implementation
  • The role of leaders and directors in setting direction and delivering clear communications
  • Proficiency in the use of strategic analysis tools
  • Business analysis using data driven industry analysis and creative approaches
  • The need for organisational and individual alignment to deliver results
