Strategy Execution Programme

Content Overview

The Strategy Execution Programme is a two-module journey uniquely structured around your own personal context and your own individual strategy execution (challenge) plan. This enables you to learn while doing, following a virtuous circle of reflection, action and further reflection.

It all begins with a carefully structured pre-programme preparation phase, which includes articulating a detailed strategy implementation plan. Then there are four intensive days on campus, starting with a structured action-learning/application phase, followed by online and telephone coaching from peers and professors after several weeks. This is followed by a second four-day campus module that enables you to hone your skills and perfect your ongoing plan of action. This module focuses on analysing your internal strengths and barriers, competing commitments, internal motivations and how you can manage these to influence stakeholders more effectively.

This modular, interactive format enables our faculty to tailor the content exactly to your needs – and to pass on the most relevant insights from their cutting-edge research.

Strategy Execution Stress Test

We apply the Strategy Execution Stress Test* to every participant’s strategy execution plan to ensure that it is actionable and effective. The Strategy Execution Stress Test is a cycle of evaluation and revision that systematically improves strategy execution plans.
