The challenge is to gain the ability to move from the specifics of day-to-day operational service delivery to the much bigger picture overview required in the strategic dimension of our work.
The program provides participants with a wide range of practical tools and techniques that they can take back to their workplaces and use to help themselves and their teams be more strategic and develop more effective long-term strategies.

- Recognise and adapt the companion behaviours of strategic perspective
