Course Overview

The 1-day CPD accredited certificated Strategic Decision-Making course will thoroughly prepare attendees to create and implement successful strategies, which give organisations a competitive advantage. The concept of a strategy as a plan that guides managerial decisions is central to the training.

The training will be supported throughout, with thought-provoking, up-to-date case studies about actual companies from various industries.
