Propel strategic initiatives to success

Have you been tasked with leading a strategic initiative within your organization? Are you feeling daunted by the enormity of it? Does your initiative require a jumpstart to get it on the right track? Are you struggling to build momentum?

IMD’s Strategy Execution program is specifically designed to equip you with the capabilities needed for a seamless transition from strategy formulation to execution. The program provides actionable, results-oriented insights into implementing major change effectively. You will master the art of piloting and steering strategic initiatives, from building a compelling vision to fostering internal buy-in and overcoming organizational challenges.

The program offers a strategic blueprint on how to identify and engage the right team members, evaluate, and select the most potent ideas, and allocate resources wisely to maximize performance. As you navigate the intricate stages of implementation, you will gain new tools that help you combat complacency, promoting continuous engagement in yourself and within your team.

To ensure maximum impact of your learning, you will have an opportunity to integrate and immediately apply your newly acquired knowledge through an interactive simulation and focused work on your own strategic initiative.
