"We kept hearing again and again, ideas that are partly right at times, but are flawed and misleading often enough to get organisations into serious trouble."
"In spite of our desire for simple steps, the reality of management is much more uncertain than we would often like to admit.
There's simply no formula that can guarantee success."
Commercial Awareness Courses
These courses have been designed to provide managers with the skills, perspectives and tools that they require to make the most effective decisions - decisions that are in-line with your organisation's strategy and financially astute.
The pace and complexity of change in the business world means that managers need to evaluate constantly what they are doing in every area. There are no easy answers - how could there be. Despite the regular stream of books from academic gurus and business leaders, a moment's thought would confirm that every business situation is unique: what worked for Jack at GE will not necessarily work for your organisation and moving from good to great will not happen by rigorously applying a set of universal principles.
"Don't forget, if someone tells you that they have the answer, they probably don't understand the question."
CK PrahaladEvery business situation is unique - and tomorrow, it will be unique in a different way. There is no status quo. Competitors, suppliers and customers are all making decisions and acting. A manager needs to constantly re-assess and make decisions.
This programme has been designed to help managers cope with the enormity of that task, not by recommending some universal, imaginary panacea but rather by providing frameworks, tools, perspectives, theories and case studies. These do not in themselves provide the answer; their role is to provide the right questions and a route forward towards an answer that is appropriate to your unique situation.
