What to expect


NEW IN SOUTH AFRICA. Henley’s intensive, three-day, international Strategy Programme, led by Dr Narendra Laljani, is your path to strategy mastery. Through real-world case studies and facilitator-led peer group discussions, you will gain world-class strategic insight, confidence, and practical tools for impact that work in our own context. The programme is underpinned by research rigour, but has a strong bias for practical application and action. Identical in structure to Henley’s long-running and popular Strategy Programme offered in the UK, our South African edition features local case studies and offers exceptional value for money.

An appreciation

of what strategy is and what it isn’t

An understanding

of a range of perspectives about strategy, and insights into the process of strategy creation

Strategic tools 

and concepts that can be directly applied within your organisation to address specific challenges

A sensitivity

to the role of social and political influences in strategic decision-making, and the role of leaders
