This training course on Oxford Advanced Management & Leadership Programme enables experienced managers to extend their strategy and leadership competencies by exploring the latest proven approaches in both fields, to find out how they apply to their role and organization. A well-formed strategy provides a laser-like focus on the most significant issue that the organization faces. Great leadership provides the vision required to drive the change needed to deliver the strategy and supports people by providing what they need to perform at a higher level.
Strategy has to be shaped for each level of the organization (corporate, business unit, function) and they are all linked and must be aligned. The best leaders are able to shape their leadership approach to the situation and the audience. One of the most important factors is the degree and speed of change in the business environment. This training course equips experienced managers with ideas, methods and tools that enable them to thrive in any situation.
Key highlights of this GLOMACS training course are:
Frameworks for Strategic Analysis
Fusion of Analysis into Strategic choices
Alignment of Strategy, Culture, Structure and People
Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.

Illustrate it through some well chosen and highly stimulating case studies - and to distill the lessons from this
