Master Class in Strategy
Introduction
In order to compete successfully in an ever-changing business context, leaders are required to think and act strategically on a continuous basis. However, the art of strategic management, along with its associated practices, is the most under-utilised tool in the toolbox of business leaders.
The Master Class in Strategy of USB Executive Development Ltd (USB-ED) is aimed at sharpening the strategic alertness of business leaders. During this programme, participants will be equipped to create sustainable competitive advantages for their organisations, through being exposed to a combination of practical, experiential and theoretical best practices in the domain of strategic management.
What sets this intervention apart
The Master Class in Strategy is aimed at stimulating strategic thinking and preparing minds that are capable of making sound decisions based on a combination of strategic frameworks and thinking tools.
The strategy of a successful organisation is a vibrant part of the DNA of that organisation, which empowers all of its employees to contribute actively to its execution from an informed perspective. Innovative thinking and execution is essential for sustainable business performance.

"
I have attended so many training interventions but this one was really worth my while and the money invested is already having returns. Being on your course not only validated some of the values, beliefs and practices that I have engaged in in the past but it certainly inspired me to look within and to work smarter and to continue inspiring myself and staff.
