Strategic Planning and Execution

Strategic plans frequently fail not at the drafting stage but at execution, when ambitious documents meet organisational reality. This comprehensive course takes participants through the full strategic planning cycle, from environmental scanning and scenario analysis to translating strategic choices into funded initiatives with clear owners and milestones, using examples drawn from public and private sector organisations across the continent.
