Analysing Resources, Competencies and Strategic Capabilities

MG14

Introduction

In a dynamic world environment organisations are, by default, people-centric. 

Much research in strategic management has been directed at how competitive advantage can be gained from internal sources, however the connection between people and technology can be a truer indicator to the extent of this.

By analysing resources, capabilities and competences holistically, an organisational strategy becomes ever more important to implement and review constantly.

This course has been designed to provide essential tools and techniques to ensure strategic success by introducing delegates to the importance of integrating your organisations resources, competencies and capabilities in strategic development.
