Course Introduction

This Certificate in Strategy Excellence: From Strategic Vision to Tactical Execution training course offers a comprehensive approach to understanding how strategy is formulated and executed effectively. It provides professionals and leaders with the tools to translate strategy into efficient operational performance. For a Strategy-Focused Organization (SFO), a robust execution model is essential for integrating long and short-term planning cycles—both strategically and financially. This model supports management processes by continuously reviewing and evaluating performance, and tracking the effectiveness of strategic initiatives. The course will provide a cohesive framework that connects strategy, planning, operations, and risk management on a single platform.

Having a solid strategy alone is not sufficient for achieving organizational success. A proven execution model is crucial for realizing the organizational vision. A 2006 Monitor Group survey revealed that Senior Executives prioritized "Strategy Execution" above all else. Yet, various surveys over the past two decades show that 60 to 80 percent of companies fail to meet their strategic targets due to inadequate execution. Professor Robert Kaplan and David Norton, renowned experts in Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and strategy execution, found that many organizations lack formal systems to effectively execute their strategies. This course aims to address this gap by providing a structured approach to strategy execution, ensuring that your organization can bridge the gap between strategic planning and successful implementation.
