Learning Progression

1

Foundation Phase

Months 1-3

We start with essential business analysis frameworks and market research methodologies. This isn't about memorizing theories - you'll work with real case studies from Australian companies that faced genuine strategic challenges between 2020-2024.

Market Analysis Techniques
Competitive Intelligence
Financial Statement Reading
Industry Mapping Methods
Customer Segmentation
Risk Assessment Basics
2

Strategy Development

Months 4-6

Here's where things get interesting. You'll develop actual business strategies for simulated scenarios based on real market conditions. Think of it as a sophisticated business simulation where your decisions have cascading effects across multiple quarters.

Strategic Planning Models
Resource Allocation
Growth Strategy Design
Partnership Evaluation
Digital Transformation Planning
Scenario Planning
3

Implementation Mastery

Months 7-9

The final phase focuses on execution - because great strategies mean nothing without proper implementation. You'll learn how successful companies actually roll out strategic initiatives, including the messy, unpredictable parts that textbooks often skip.

Change Management
Performance Metrics Design
Team Alignment Methods
Budget Planning & Control
Crisis Response Planning
Continuous Improvement Systems

Assessment & Progress Tracking

Rather than traditional exams, we use practical assessments that mirror real business challenges. Each evaluation method tests different aspects of strategic thinking and implementation skills.

Strategic Analysis Projects

Monthly deep-dive analyses of actual business cases, including companies that succeeded and failed in their strategic initiatives. You'll examine what worked, what didn't, and why.

Every 4 weeks

Simulation Performance

Multi-quarter business simulations where your strategic decisions play out over time. These aren't simple games - they're complex models that reflect real market dynamics and competitive responses.

Continuous assessment

Peer Strategy Reviews

Present your strategic recommendations to fellow participants who act as board members or senior executives. This builds presentation skills while testing your ability to defend strategic choices.

Bi-monthly

Implementation Planning

Create detailed implementation roadmaps for strategies you've developed, including resource requirements, timeline management, and risk mitigation approaches.

The most valuable learning happens when you're working through real challenges with incomplete information - just like in actual business environments. Our program reflects that reality.
