59% of senior executives say their organisations struggle to bridge the strategy-implementation gap.
Research shows that only one in 10 organisations is effectively achieving its strategic goals. Many companies have strategies which look fantastic, yet there is often no clear plan to make sure they become a reality. Choosing the right projects and delivering them effectively can be the difference between failure and success.
Sometimes there are too many initiatives planned without considering what is feasible, and even when projects are linked to your strategy, they can struggle if there is a lack of leadership understanding of roles and processes.
This short course will help you look at the choices you are making and understand how to use projects to turn your organisational aims and objectives into successful outcomes. You will leave the session with practical information and techniques you can implement immediately.
