This course builds on a wide range of MBA courses and provides opportunities to apply the learnings from your MBA using hands on exercises. You will learn how to develop a strategy, test if it is any good, cascade the strategy through the organisation, align the operating model and organisation design to deliver on the strategy, and manage the change and people aspects successfully. 

In addition to strategy, this course also covers operating models, organisation structure, performance measurement, governance and role of boards, risk management, culture and change management, as well as considering the role of leaders in successful strategy implementation. The approach includes readings before class and in class application of those learnings to real world situations. In addition, you will hear from executive guest speakers to gain a range of perspectives on what leaders need to do to enable their businesses to succeed.
