Course Detail

Programme Overview:

Like values and mission, strategies are non-negotiable cornerstones, shaping the essence and direction of an organisation. However, many businesses need help with the challenge of achieving both well-formulated and well-executed strategies. Strategic management becomes imperative in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) environment. It empowers corporate leaders to craft strategies and, more importantly, execute them effectively. APSMCL is an intensive 8-month programme that keeps corporate leaders at their strategic best by expanding their insight into different strategic management theories, models and practices essential for long-term success. Participants will be taught how to translate strategy into value-driven decisions and create effective strategies supporting their organisation's goals.
