Creating a Strategy

Determining the best strategy to apply in a given situation depends on the person’s ability to identify and understand the information that they have at their disposal and comprehend a range of potential solutions to a problem.  Strategic decisions require an assessment of the risks and likelihood of success or failure based on what is currently known to the leader.  This webinar explores how to make strategies work by using appropriate tools and techniques to assess and analyse problems so that informed strategic choices can be made.
