Program Overview

Businesses and organizations require people with forward-thinking vision—and a strategic planning professional can help in that regard. Strategic planners must understand the business, the market, trends, and have foresight into future developments to be successful.

Strategic planning is an organizational activity that is used to set priorities, focus energy and resources, strengthen operations, ensure that all stakeholders are working toward common goals, establish agreement around intended outcomes and assess (or adjust) the organization's direction in response to a changing environment.

Training program will help you develop these skills in a structured, guided course. Rather than waiting to learn these skills through on-the-job experience or sporadic mentorship, you can sharpen these skills more purposefully and create more value for yourself as a strategic planning professional.
