“One of the most cited business quotes is ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast’ but it isn’t as simple as that. Strategy defines the company’s goals for people to focus on. Culture is based on values and beliefs, often unspoken, and guides activity through shared assumptions and behaviour. In my view they have to coexist.

We are in the middle of a massive disruption in the way we do business and many organisations have already achieved change at a speed and to a scale they couldn’t have imagined as recently as 3 months ago. Many more will need to follow suit. Old strategies will be shredded and new ones created very rapidly.

After the storm has passed, there will be a need for competent professionals to help organisations execute their new strategies in an agile and unrelenting manner. An organisation will have to efficiently execute that strategy.  This course provides practical advice on bringing a strategy to life so your organisation  can  achieve its goals. While you have time, gaining a certification in Strategy Implementation will both prepare you to step up to this challenge for your organisation and also set you apart from others.  As T. Boone Pickens said “A plan without action isn’t a plan, it’s a speech.” Speeches won’t cut it in the future, trained and certified people will.” 

“If you are responsible for strategy implementation at your company or working as a consultant in strategy implementation, the strategy Implementation Institute is a must for you. The material that Robin Speculand and Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez have put together makes up a cohesive platform for strategy implementation specialists to expand and deepen their knowledge. The material is set up in 7 different modules each with four stages that make the material easily accessible at your own preference. The material offered is also the necessary base to be able to receive the accreditation as a Strategy Implementation Professional. Having completed my accreditation I am now a certified Strategy Implementation Professional, something that will benefit me greatly as a consultant in strategy implementation.” 

“I have been practicing strategy implementation for a few years now. For the first time, I have found in the SIP certification a holistic body of knowledge that brings it all together and allows me to leverage my strategy, performance mgmt and project mgmt experience under one same umbrella. It is exciting to see how a distinct, new professional role – the Strategy Implementation Professional – is being created and acknowledged. I believe that companies across all industries and sectors will benefit from having professionals certified in this critical area and hence be able to execute their strategies more successfully.”

“The Strategy Implementation Institute’s professional certification program gave me additional insights and a recommended structure needed to take strategy implementation initiatives to the next level. The Institute’s program provides strong guidance, smart actions, discipline and the unification of courses of actions needed to set the foundation for strategy implementation successes.” 

“I have seen both in my own experience as well as in conversations with other companies that the disconnect between strategy and implementation and the various teams involved is a huge barrier to full success.  This course and certification directly address that need by bridging strategic business decisions and the execution of initiatives to make sure all players are speaking the same language, thinking of the same strategic issues, and knowing how to get initiatives executed.”
