The problem
No one has really learned strategy
No standardized process
Everyone in the company understands strategy differently. This leads to many discussions about what is needed and slows down the process enormously.
Procedure is questioned
The management and other stakeholders regularly question the procedure because they know "better". This sets you back weeks in the process every time.
Chaos instead of clarity
As the core of the strategy is usually hidden in hundreds of PowerPoint slides, it is not accessible to the majority of employees. This slows down implementation.
The result
Instead of quickly developing a strategy with all relevant stakeholders and implementing it, the process loses speed and can lead the company into a strategic crisis.
The solution

In our Online Academy, you will learn how to implement a sustainable process for strategy development and implementation in your company step by step.
