Learning and Development

I offer a range of tailored learning and development programmes are offered covering all aspects of strategy development and implementation.  I must stress that all my offerings are designed to meet the needs of individual clients and usually include, for added relevance, industry specific case studies and topics.  Nearly all my programmes feature tailor made case study analyses of market conditions, clients, suppliers and competitors.

Examples of learning and development programmes include:

Strategic Thinking.  An intensive 1 to 2 day programme designed to give course members the essential tools to make a major contribution to their organisation’s future direction. This programme can include client and competitor case studies specifically written to address the challenges and opportunities faced by your organisation. For more details click here.

Scenario Planning. How to develop multiple views of the future competitive environment that your organisation may face and the implications for strategy. This programme includes scenario construction.  For more details click here.

Competitor Analysis.  Too frequently business plans are prepared without a thorough appreciation of competitors’ offerings, capabilities and future moves. The result can be poorly positioned products and services. This programme informs course members how to carry out a strategic audit of a competitor, analyse key decision makers, identify its ‘organisational personality’ and assess likely future moves - all using publicly available information.

As I have said, I do not generally provide "off the shelf" programmes.  

Usually, I work with clients to ensure that real current business issues are incorporated into the programmes so that in addition to new competences, hard solutions, ready for implementation, are produced.
