1-    Overview:


This intensive masterclass in Crafting a Winning Strategy is delivered by Dr. Martin Spraggon, who is a Professor of Strategy and Innovation and has extensive strategic management consulting and executive education experience in the UAE and broader MENA region. The designed instructional program strikes a balance between the global and the local, drawing upon international best practice techniques in the field of strategy formulation while preserving a differentiated local appeal and practical relevance for managers and leaders of businesses in the region. 

In today’s dynamic and rapidly changing business environment, managers face a significant challenge of designing strategies that would allow their organizations to secure a competitive advantage over rivals. The ability of decision-makers to craft cutting-edge corporate and business-level strategies is what, most often, makes the difference between organizational success and failure. This open seminar seeks to demystify the strategic management process by familiarizing participants with a set of ready-to-apply tools for performing a comprehensive strategic audit of smaller- and larger-size corporations operating in different industrial sectors and/or regions of the world. 

The course favors the adoption of a top-management orientation that allows recognizing the depth and complexity of strategic activity and practice. This holistic approach is required for enhancing business leaders’ capacity to interpret the competitive dynamics of a globalized world, assess the challenges that modern corporations confront in an internationalized economy, and generate a coherent strategic analysis of their own organization. After a thorough initiation to a variety of business- and corporate-level strategies, participants will practice their strategic management skills by critically evaluating the current competitive stance of a company of their choice and providing viable recommendations for a successful future strategic direction.
