This unit is about leading the development of high-level strategic plans that serve the vision and mission of an organisation. It addresses analysing the environment, identifying risks and opportunities, planning staffing requirements, succession planning, and monitoring financial and non-financial performance indicators.
Leadership needs to engage people with the organisation’s vision and goals and in developing and implementing the plan.
It applies to senior managers and business owners who generate ideas and solve complex problems.
