Every business leader would like to create a sound strategy that will be realised but this remains an elusive goal for most organisations. In order to formulate a strategy, one should first learn to think in a way that combines rational and intuitive thinking, considers different strategic perspectives, and takes into account the past, present and future in order to arrive at a strategy that will best see the organisation prosper.

This course will guide you through the process of strategy formulation in a dynamic business environment.
