Moving from Operations to Strategy
A practical programme in moving from operations to strategy, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.
About the Course
This programme develops a working approach to moving from operations to strategy in the context of management priorities and execution. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on business context, strategic choices and execution alignment. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.
Course Objectives
- Explain the role of business context and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
- Use a structured worksheet to examine strategic choices and compare reasonable alternatives.
- Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to execution alignment.
- Prepare a decision brief with responsibilities and performance measures for discussion with a manager and team.
- Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.
