Strategy is the art of positioning, marketing, branding, targeting the best market(s), and designing barriers to entry around a particular business and/or market. This is the only way to ensure long-term profits and growth. A strong strategy will also help attract capital at a lower cost, recruit the best employees, and support a company to become a market leader. 

Few people understand the process to optimize strategy because it requires some knowledge and experience in all areas of business including Marketing, Sales, Operations, Finance, and maybe even product development (industry/domain expertise).  This is why Strategic Planning is always best done by a team collaboratively.  And someone in leadership needs to facilitate this process, not do it themselves alone.

Most new companies and products fail because they do not do the required research and other preparation work to validate a strategy before building a product or service. These failures are avoidable and can bankrupt companies. 

This Professional Certification Program (PCP) will teach you the tools used by top consulting firms and Fortune 1000 companies that are needed to facilitate the Strategic Planning process and find the best strategy for any company, in any given industry.  And you will learn to manage collaboration with the multi-disciplinary experts that are needed to validate the plan and then fine-tune it.

Having strong Strategic Planning skills can make you one of the most valuable employees that will guide companies in multi-million-dollar decisions that determine success and failure.   These skills give you access to the C-Suite and prepare you for the most senior management positions in a company. Frankly, any manager that does acquire an understanding of the fundamentals of strategy does not belong in any C-Level position.  And so will likely never be promoted. 

Strategy is also both “The Big Picture” and the long-term picture.  The richest people in the world, like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and pretty much every billionaire, think long-term.  Every manager that wishes to climb the corporate ladder needs to get this certification and put “BSP” behind their name and signature to show they are trained in strategy. 

The strategic planning process is an art and science that requires lots of critical thinking.  And there are many tools needed to help deal with the complexity caused by the many dimensions of this challenge.  There are literally over 5,000 strategies for a particular product or service.  For example, dimensions include a) target niche market (many), b) pricing level spectrum, c) product features offered, d) the business model (10+ variables), and many more you will learn.

Strategic planning is literally the most complex process an organization must execute annually and update quarterly.  Because it involves and must consider all the other processes and every area of the business.

A strong strategy creates a foundation that can grow a company to $10M, $100M or even $1 billion in annual sales. And it can take many months of work given the need for market research, financial modeling, and competitive intelligence that should be done before any money is spent on product development or marketing. 

There are dozens of tools used in strategy that break complex problems into their component parts and allow the development of a superior plan. Strategic planning is done for a three-to-five-year period and usually includes multiple market entry steps, products, and phases.

This course also includes a recommended reading list to go deeper where you need it most. There are several authors that are the top strategy experts that have defined the modern strategic planning process. We have combined all their best insights and tools here for you into a single Certification Program.  A complete system and toolset for facilitating the Strategic Planning process. This course is also appropriate for Business Coaches and Consultants who work with C-Level clients.
