When you step up to a higher level, what you paid in the last 12 months for lower-level courses inside the bigger course comes off its price, in proportion to how much of each is inside it, whichever topic it's from. Courses at the same or a lower level don't give credit against each other. A Focus course or above always costs at least £15. Read the full terms

Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
Strategy without leadership is only a document, and this module explores how leaders turn strategic choices into organisational reality. It covers Ansoff, Porter's Five Forces and generic strategies, Mintzberg's emergent strategy and Rumelt's kernel, then Kotter's eight steps, Kim and Mauborgne's tipping point leadership and Collins' Level 5 leaders, before upper echelons theory, strategic intent, execution and Lafley and Martin's Playing to Win.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Compare the planning, positioning, emergent and kernel schools of strategy and assess whether a strategy contains a genuine diagnosis, guiding policy and coherent action.
- Apply Kotter's eight steps, tipping point leadership and Level 5 leadership to plan how significant change is carried through an organisation.
- Explain how top team composition, strategic intent, execution discipline and the Playing to Win cascade shape whether a strategy is realised.
