Information technology strategies are critical to business as they can deliver not only effective business operations but also competitively differentiated products and services for firms. Yet many business and government enterprises have found their IT organizations to be misaligned with business strategies, or even worse, so dysfunctional that business values are actually destroyed instead of added.
Aligning business activities to a company's vision and strategy is a must to ensure operational excellence. This is easier said than done, since this will require specific processes to communicate objectives in a clear manner to all stakeholders, and a robust system to monitor the organization's performance against strategic goals from all perspectives.
This lively and engaging training course is suitable for high-level professionals who are involved in the managers’ key role in setting the organization’s strategic direction and implementing plans. The training course supports the development of high-level strategy skills for middle to senior managers who want to gain or refresh their knowledge of strategic planning. It will increase their confidence in the use of corporate planning tools and approaches by clarifying internal capabilities and resources in relation to outside forces such as competitors and geopolitical factors. In a multi-cultural and globalized economy, human factors must also be addressed as part of the strategy implementation process.
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 happened and then implementing the plans.
