Workshop

A "strategic agenda" is a list of strategic issues that a business should tackle in the next 2-3 years, taking into account the uncertainties that lie in the future. Through the program, participants will formulate a strategic agenda that will form the basis for determining a concrete plan for the allocation of business resources. The program aims not only to teach skills, but also to shift the mindset of a "competent subordinate" into that of a "decision-maker" by tackling the formulation of a strategic agenda, which is the most important and challenging job for a top-level manager. |
