Course Overview
This MHMMD training course on Strategy Analysis provides a practical framework and powerful analytical tools to understand your organisation’s strategy.
Strategy defines the most effective way to apply the organisation’s capabilities to reach a desired set of goals and objectives. Strategies may exist for the entire enterprise, for a division, department or region, and for a product, service or project.
This MHMMD training course gives you a method and tools to identify your most significant strategic issues then concentrate all your policies, plans and actions on them. The results of using these tools are clear identification and definition of solutions to meet business needs and the justification of the investment necessary to deliver them. In this training course, you will learn how to understand the current state of the organisation, to define the desired future state, develop a change strategy to achieve the desired outcomes and assess the risks inherent in the change strategy.

PROGRAM SUMMARY
This MHMMD Strategy Analysis training course provides a contextual framework to evaluate how certain or uncertain the range of possible outcomes is. When a change has a predictable outcome, a clear strategy can be planned. If the outcome of a change is less predictable, the strategy may need to take the form of a vision and focus on mitigating risk, testing assumptions, and being open to changing course. As a result, analysts taking this training course will feel confident in dealing with both predictable and unpredictable business environments.
