Strategic Planning and Execution for Managers

Many South African teams write annual plans that gather dust while daily firefighting takes over. This course bridges the gap between planning and delivery, showing managers how to set clear priorities, translate them into measurable goals, and keep execution on track through the year. Delegates leave with a working plan for their own department and the discipline to review and adjust it.
