It will enable you to:

  • develop strategic initiatives in organisational climates which may be hostile
  • link corporate strategies to the budget
  • identify appropriate organisational machinery for developing and implementing strategy
  • implement strategy in partnership with other agencies
  • assess strategic effectiveness
  • gain political commitment to strategies
