Corporate Strategy from Analysis to Execution

Strategy documents fail less often on analysis than on translation. This programme carries a strategy the whole way: from a defensible read of the market, through the choices that follow, into the resource allocation and operating decisions that make those choices real. Delegates work on their own organisation throughout.

It runs 6 times over the published calendar, in 6 cities. Every date is the same programme with the same content and the same certificate.

• Produce a market read that identifies where value actually accrues.
• Make explicit strategic choices, including what the organisation will not do.
• Translate choices into resource allocation and operating targets.
• Design the review cadence that keeps a strategy alive between planning cycles.

Strategy leads, heads of function contributing to strategy, and senior managers accountable for translating strategy into plans.

Short input, then work. Across 5 days of roughly 6 teaching hours each, the balance sits deliberately with the second: a programme where the trainer talks for six hours produces notes rather than capability.

• Your own material

  Exercises run on situations delegates bring, not on a case study written for a different organisation in a different decade.

• A capped cohort

  Small enough that everybody is asked something. Executive programmes are capped tighter still.

• Practice under scrutiny

  The difficult conversation, the challenged assumption, the decision defended out loud. Judgement is not built by watching.

• Something to take back

  Each day ends with a thing you can use on Monday rather than a slide deck you will not reopen.

• A one page strategic choice statement for the delegate's organisation.
• A resource allocation map showing where money and attention follow the strategy.
• A list of explicit exclusions and the reasoning behind them.
• A quarterly review structure with defined triggers for revision.

A GATI certificate recording what you attended, issued after the programme has run and attendance has been taken. Attending at least 80 per cent of the days earns a certificate of completion; attending less earns a certificate of attendance stating exactly what was attended.

Every certificate carries a code that anybody can check against GATI's own record, which is what makes it worth holding. It records participation. This site will not imply one it does not have.
