The first module addresses the participants’ individual roles in the strategy process and introduces participants to some of the main analytical tools used in strategy. It provides an action plan for participants to enhance their contribution in these areas. This session will provide an overview of the entire programme and will provide participants with a framework to enhance their immediate contribution to strategy, innovation and change in their organisations.
