Boston Strategy Program

Subjects

Strategic Management in Transition

Strategic planning means actively concerning yourself with securing the future of the company. Strategic leadership is about transforming the results of your strategic consideration and discussion into concrete policies and actions at all levels of management. Strategic implementation should then lead to demonstrable results for the purpose of securing this future. So much for theory.

What about practice? Dynamic, unpredictable markets and increasingly difficult business conditions make the quality and quantification of strategic planning more difficult than ever before. For the conversion of strategic concepts into level-appropriate plans and objectives, the instruments are missing, or too slow and cumbersome. So, strategies get bogged down in the quick-sand of implementation.
