Decision Making for Leaders and Managers – CMI Level 7
Research suggests that between 50-70% of organisational strategies fail. Our consultative Decision Making for Leaders and Managers will develop your capacity and confidence to improve the strategic success rate.
The course has been designed for leaders who are responsible for engaging with complex organisational decisions and have a role in developing and executing organisational strategy.
Making good, evidence-based decisions under pressure is a vital leadership skill, especially in times of change or challenge. It is a dynamic and consultative programme which encourages reflection, sharing of best practice and application of theory into the work context. We will discuss the wider strategic context and challenge the concept of strategy as a plan.
Throughout the course we consider questions of strategic alignment, inclusion, and engagement. Participants will gain competence and confidence in implementing effective strategy which helps the organisation meet its objectives.
