Mastering Strategic Decision Making Training Course in Kuala Lumpur

Introduction

Every organisation is unique, with its own strategic objectives, capabilities and strategic options – and that strategic decision making is at the core of any successful strategizing process. For these reasons our approach is focused on enhancing strategic decision making capabilities, recognising that both analysis and intuition are necessary for high-quality decision making.

This unique programme is designed to enhance your decision capabilities when confronted with strategic choices, when searching for decision opportunities, and when designing strategies – both in conditions where there is sufficient time to conduct analyses and when there is only time to choose intuitively.
