Probably the best course that I have been on in terms of offering immediate, wide range benefits in my job. It has made the complex understandable and encouraged us to figure out how our strengths are aligned with services we offer. All aspects have a relevance to my day to day work.

All of it was relevant and helped us to understand what goes on behind the strategy of our group and how we can be a more profitable company. It helps to contextualise those changes in the market that should influence our strategy. It has also got us thinking about how we can better organise the various aspects of our business so that they are aligned to the overall strategy of the business.

I found it fascinating. The course provided us with a real grasp of the core principles taught on an MBA and how to apply them. It has given me a completely new way of looking at our business and what the drivers of strategies are. It has also helped my team understand our clients’ businesses so that we can ask them more intelligent questions.

This course has broadened our strategic thinking. We’re using the models to think about our market position relative to our competitors. It has also helped us to discover ways of integrating the various departments in the business so that they can work together more closely and exploit each other’s strengths.

Really stimulating and motivating. It has encouraged us to ask more relevant questions and think more about the industry that we work in. My team now has a much better understanding of strategic business analysis and how to be more solution focused. The worksheets have also helped us to think about why things are done in a certain way, how they fit within the bigger picture, how they can be done differently.

Helped me to understand how the whole analytical process fits together and how to assess the business’s strengths in order to determine the appropriate strategy. Contains many factors you wouldn’t normally think to consider. It is also useful in understanding the focus and position of my staff in the business. I will go back and review my business’s structure and strategy and consider how I can better utilise our limited resources to support the business.

Very relevant both personally and organisationally. It will help us in strategic planning and service design. Lots of opportunities within our team to apply these concepts. I loved the methodology. The 7 step approach is easy to follow and take other team members through in terms of developing their service strategies.

A real eye opener that has helped us to identify what the key assets within our business are and how we can use them to develop a competitive advantage. On a personal level it has helped me to adapt my communication within the workplace so that I can speak to our board using terminology that they are familiar with and get a better understanding of how my current project fits into the overall strategy.

Great to have a framework to pin our efforts to - we are half-way through a strategic service portfolio review and it provides a reminder to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. The Strategy Canvas is something that I want to look at introducing within our organisation to link our market assessment to strategy. Nice and simple way of presenting the information. I am also particularly interested in developing our sweet spot of opportunity.

Simply Brilliant! As a recent start-up company we were keen to learn more about business strategy and this course gave us all of the key elements, delivered in an easily digestible form. The videos are the perfect length and the whole course is very thought provoking.

The course is very thought provoking and absorbing. It strikes the perfect balance between theory and practical examples. The worksheets are also an incredibly useful resource that have helped us to analyse not only our own business but also the businesses of our clients. This has been particularly useful in helping us develop more bespoke marketing materials which are finely tuned to our target clients’ businesses.

Found the entire course and materials very informative. Good for understanding the theories and principles applied by clients in their businesses and in the legal industry. Forced to think about issues which, as lawyers, we don't normally spend time thinking about. I think the course is appropriate for all levels. In addition to delivering this course to partners, it would be good to give this course to mid to senior level associates as it could help shape how they build their practices.

The concepts have been really useful in our organisation in terms of questioning our short term and long term goals and helped us to understand which projects to pursue and which to abort. It has really helped us to structure our thoughts on various aspects of our strategy in a much more logical manner. It definitely makes me approach my work with a different outlook.
