Course description
Strategic Decision Making for Leaders - CMI Level 7
Our dynamic and consultative Strategic Decision Making for Leaders Programme has been designed for senior leaders, who are responsible for engaging with complex organisational decisions, and have a role in deciding upon, defining or presenting organisational strategy. This programme develops your capacity and confidence to make well-thought-out, informed and comprehensive decisions.
Making good, evidence-based decisions under pressure is a vital leadership skill, especially in times of change or challenge. The programme is designed to assist leaders in putting together and implementing organisational strategy or dealing with other complex decisions. It is a dynamic and consultative programme which encourages reflection, sharing of best practice and application of theory into the work context.
Throughout the course we consider questions of strategic alignment, inclusion and engagement. Participants will gain competence and confidence in implementing effective strategy which helps the organisation meet its objectives.
The programme is practitioner led. Our tutors are experienced company directors who hold, at a minimum, Masters level qualifications in their field. Underpinning theory has been carefully selected from current academic research, and best practice has been selected from a combination of business and public sector insights.
