Leadership & Management
The Boston Global Strategic and Operational Management Programme
This five-day programme connects corporate strategy with the operations that deliver it. Participants build skills in strategic analysis, operating model and Lean process design, Six Sigma and SPC quality control, and capacity and performance governance.
Introduction
The Boston Global Strategic and Operational Management Programme Training Course prepares leaders to connect corporate strategy with the operations that deliver it. Participants move from industry and capability analysis into operating model design, capacity planning, and performance control in one continuous sequence. The programme bridges global strategy, resource alignment, and execution discipline. As a result, learners gain a single logic that runs from strategic intent to shop-floor or service-floor results. Furthermore, the course strengthens cross-functional governance, operational risk management, and the improvement leadership that keeps performance from drifting.
The Boston Global Strategic and Operational Management Programme Course Objectives
- Formulate strategic intent and translate it into operational objectives.
- Analyse external context with PESTLE, Porter's Five Forces, and scenario planning.
- Assess capability with the VRIO framework and value chain analysis.
- Design operating models covering process, capacity, and service delivery.
- Apply Lean principles, value stream mapping, and waste elimination.
- Use Six Sigma DMAIC and statistical process control (SPC) for quality.
- Plan capacity and demand with forecasting and aggregate planning.
- Align resources, budgets, and initiatives with strategic priorities using the Balanced Scorecard.
- Manage operational and strategic risk with risk registers and continuity planning.
- Set strategic and operational KPIs with baselines, targets, and review cadence.
Course Methodology
