Course Overview

Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on integrated corporate brand strategy, which nobody trained them for. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on brand strategy far more accurately than what their leaders announce. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider organisational leadership agenda outperform teams that only plan it. The programme is built to be used, and every section of integrated corporate brand strategy it covers ends in something applicable. The version of the practice within organisational leadership described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. It suits anyone whose decisions touch brand strategy, in large organisations and small ones alike. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of integrated corporate brand strategy and prepares them for it. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in brand strategy before they become incidents. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider organisational leadership agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
