How you can download training material on strategic management skills and start running your training courses

Are you looking to deliver a course on strategic management, but for some reason, you’re not getting all the content you need, and don’t have the time required to develop everything from scratch?

Well, pre-written training material is still an incredible framework to start delivering your training courses.

Let’s explore this course a little more.

Target audience

But before we dig into the training material, one thing that we want to touch on first is that your content will need to solve a specific challenge that at least some people have. And, remember that the more people who have the problem that your training course meets, the more opportunities that you will have to deliver this course.

We’ve learned that strategic management is one of the most overused but essential concepts in companies. What was once whispered within board rooms only is now finding itself discussed on production floors and even canteens.

And yes, strategic management skills have always been invaluable to companies. But, these skills are more relevant today than ever before. All employees must possess a better understanding of this vital skill.

This strategic management skills training program will fundamentally address the needs of business managers and senior executives responsible for leading strategic management and for all line staff that are required to participate within such actions. Supervisors, owner-managers, new managers, and line-staff will find this training course particularly useful.

Consider supporting this course delivery with content from our strategic measurement skills and leadership and culture course and as part of your training effort.

Learning objectives

If you are looking for content to present your own business training course on strategic management skills, this is the course material for you. And, you don’t have to be an experienced business trainer to get results like a pro.

At the end of this training course your participants will be able to:

– Understand the importance of strategic management

– Identify the characteristics of strategy managers

– Understand the ten primary strategy schools

– Introduce a Five-Step Strategy Model

– Outline the vision and mission for their organization

– Identify strategic and financial objectives

– Understand how to put in place, execute and evaluate a strategy

Course outline

In an effort to provide you with as much value as possible, we’re going to show you how we would use the content provided to deliver the key sections of this training course.

Strategic management – If you catch yourself wondering how to present this course to your audience, consider a new mindset. For example, there’s nothing better than consistently taking care of the needs of your audience. It’s essential to recognize the expectations of your audience. Shift your course delivery style to something like, “When you are thinking about strategic management, it can be most effective when you understand why we need a strategy.”

At a foundational level, we provide all the content required to deliver this course. And, one of the core objectives of the material is to share why we need strategic managers within companies. While the concept of strategic managers is new, it will likely be new to some of your audience. As a result, try to incorporate examples from your experiences or industry-specific standards to foster more engagement. Understand that if these examples and experiences might seem small, they’re hugely crucial to embed learning.

When delivering this material, remind yourself why your audience is coming together in the first place. Your role in this section of the training course is to help them to understand what strategy is and the associated benefits to the company. However, for your audience, when they’re on the front lines facing daily stresses, it’s easy for them not to realize the positive aspects of strategic management. Use the content to inspire and motivate them on the key advantages of a strategic plan to a company.

• Sets direction
• Defines the organization
• Focuses effort
• Provides consistency

The Strategy Schools – While being used to familiar tasks can help us all feel more comfortable in our roles, expanding our knowledge can help us broaden our skills base and put different viewpoints into perspective. This is something we frequently hear from clients when discussing leadership skills development needs. Use the content provided to explore the following ten strategy schools, as identified by Mintzberg et al. (1998).

1. Design
2. Planning
3. Positioning
4. Entrepreneurial
5. Cognitive
6. Learning
7. Power
8. Cultural
9. Environmental
10. Configuration

At the end of this section, take a moment to help your audience to unwind. This “time-out” helps your audience to deal with any questions that have developed from the course content to date. Paying attention to the needs of your audience will help you use the content to release any stresses they may have, and help clarify and focus attention on the learning objectives of this course.

Five-Step Model – No matter how busy your audience may be, and even if they spend long hours days performing their duties, the following five-step model will add considerable value. Also, a quick guide through this model will raise opportunities to use this model in so many settings.

Then, use the course material to detail a simple five-step model.
Depending on the focus and target of a strategy, you may want to adopt different strategic management models. Here is a simple five-step model:

1. Develop a vision and mission statement
2. Set objectives
3. Create a strategic plan to achieve objectives
4. Implement and execute
5. Evaluate and correct

Be sure to ask your audience how this model fits in with their role, and don’t hesitate to share your experiences and reflections.
