I found this module very useful and it was a great way to bring the learning from all my other modules together in a business context. It was also a good opportunity to involve my manager, providing visibility they would not have otherwise had"

The BSSM module was one of the best modules from the 10 I’ve followed.
The opportunity to involve senior managers of your company into the module is great. This provided me the possibility to critique the current strategy deployment methodology and to propose improvements for strategy- formation and deployment.
The PMA forced me into different thinking about my company’s Strategy Deployment Process, and I had the opportunity to apply the improved methodology in Strategy Deployment Workshops in USA, EU and Asia."
