The British Academy for Training and Development offers a professional training course in HR Strategy and Advanced Strategic Management. The nature of organizations has not changed, and the pace of change is accelerating. HR, like many parts of the organization, has the challenge of doing more with the same or less resources. This is a time to be even more strategic in your views and actions. Completing daily tasks does not guarantee employment. We need to think and act more thoughtfully and strategically to add value to our organization and work. This course will guide you through the steps necessary to achieve this. The course ends with a summary of key learning points. This is followed by action planning exercises to apply the knowledge and skills learned immediately upon returning to work.
