Sylva K. Leduc, MPEC Master Personal & Executive Coach SAGE Leaders
As someone who’s been involved in training for more than twenty years, I’ve never known a resource that’s as consistently valuable as Oak. I’m always amazed at their willingness to provide purchasers of their complete range of presentations regular updates and new training packages at no additional cost. That makes my purchase become more valuable all the time. And their speed in responding to questions is phenomenal. One of the sessions I often provide is a Training the Trainers workshop. In it, the very first resource I encourage people to purchase is the library of resources from Oak. These packages have made my job infinitely easier, and I recommend them to anyone who’s looking for the highest quality in training materials.

Course outline
In an effort to provide you with as much value as possible, we’re going to show you how 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).
- Design
- Planning
- Positioning
- Entrepreneurial
- Cognitive
- Learning
- Power
- Cultural
- Environmental
- 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:
- Develop a vision and mission statement
- Set objectives
- Create a strategic plan to achieve objectives
- Implement and execute
- 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.
Consider supporting this course delivery with content from our strategic measurement skills and leadership and culture course and as part of your training effort.

How to answer common questions
What is a good definition of a strategy?
Here are two excellent definitions. “The strategic aim of any business is to earn a return on capital, and if in any particular case the return, in the long run, is not satisfactory, the deficiency should be corrected or the activity abandoned” (Sloan, 1963) “Strategy is the determination of the basic, long-term goals and objectives of an enterprise, and the adoption of courses of action and the allocation of resources necessary for those goals” (Chandler, 1962)
What is Strategy?
Each part of a strategy will serve different parts of a company. And generally, a strategic plan will help several tasks relating to:

A strategy:

Why does a company need a strategic plan?

- Market conditions
- Technology
- Political and legislative conditions

- Evolving customer needs
What are the characteristics of dynamic strategy managers?

- Learning School
- Power School
- Cultural School
