“When I signed up for this programme, I was looking to build on my strategy execution capabilities, more specifically in relation to advising senior leaders in making better choices when designing future state business and operating models. And the programme delivered exactly that! The case study approach to learning enabled me to apply the tools and techniques in real-time and I was able to extract the value from it from week one. I would highly recommend this programme to any leader faced with designing and implementing effective strategic solutions to enable long-term success of the enterprise.”
