Content Training Methodology
Introduction

Too often company executives and professionals spend most of their time fixing day-to-day problems. They react to problems, rather than focusing on what they would like the company to be and then on making it happen. This program focuses on changing the way we think from reacting (responding to day-to-day problems, fixing and repairing) to developing plans for what we want to have happen and then implementing the plans.

In attending this course, you will gain the skills necessary to change your management approach from letting things happen to making things happen the way we want. These are necessary skills and key issues for anyone who is involved in:

  • Developing a new company/division/department
  • Improving the performance of an existing company/division/department when faced with major change in business conditions
  • Balancing financial and non-financial objectives and goals
  • Growing an existing company/division/department
  • Planning his/her own career more carefully.
Objectives
The central objectives of this course are as follows:
  • Learn how to develop a plan to achieve the goals you want for you and your company, and develop strategic thinking in your organization/business unit/team.
  • Determine where you and your company want to be.
  • Develop a strategic plan for - your organization (company/division/business unit/team and for yourself personally.
  • Identify the principles and mechanisms that drive successful implementation
  • Develop measurable action plans that result in success. Identify, measure, and track critical success factors
Training Methodology

The approach to the seminar is to combine formal presentation of the subject matter with class discussion of case studies that illustrate the issues that have just been presented. Some use of video-based material is included. Above all, the seminar leader will refer extensively to examples of strategic analysis and decisions made in companies with which he has been personally involved. This gives a real-life and up-to-date perspective on the subject.
