Course Description

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course will become your go-to resource for helping you and your team raise your game, focusing on the most important strategic activities you can to drive performance for your company. It will demystify all of the confusion about what strategy and strategic thinking do, and do not, mean. You’ll walk away with concrete tools you and your team can use to redefine the focus of your work, set and keep strategic priorities, and deal with the pressures and challenges of thinking and acting more strategically.

This course will introduce you to the models for strategic thinking and leadership for engineers, and will take you through the steps needed in strategically starting and managing a chain project within your organisation.

The course will also assist you in making the chain analysis a continuous process within your organisation, explaining how to generate participation and commitment among your colleagues.
