The term 'strategy' is one which has become frequently used (and abused) in management. Application of the term to a variety of business activities at a variety of organisational levels has created some confusion about its true meaning. Strategy is important for all managers - to differing degrees - and it is obviously preferable to develop expertise in strategy before, rather than after, assuming a position of power and influence in an organisation.
There are seven main topics in this workshop. Presenting strategy in this way has the advantage of breaking down this rather complex subject into bite-sized pieces. In this way you can gain an appreciation of the significance of each segment before moving onto the next one. Although strategy does comprise a number of separate activities, none of these can be practised in isolation from the others.
This workshop qualifies for NZ Trade and Enterprise’s Capability Development Voucher Scheme.
Target Audience
This workshop is for anyone who is involved in developing and implementing strategy at a business or functional level.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
■view all other management practices as components in the overall process of enhancing long-run organisational performance
■understand the theory and principles of strategic management and the resulting ability to practise 'strategic thinking'
■perceive issues from an organisational perspective rather than as a functional or technical specialist, and therefore understand strategic options
■move strategy from an abstract 'senior level, long term' view to a practical action-oriented master plan by use of a methodology and thinking tool.
Content
■Introduction and context of strategic management
■Understanding competence and competitive advantage
■Change and its impact on strategy
■Overview of the strategy formulation process
■Strategic analysis
■Strategic options
■Strategy implementation

Associate Professor Piet Beukman, FIPENZ, AFNZIM, has 35 years international experience in the field of engineering, technology management and commercialisation of technology, as well as training at university and industry level. He is highly regarded in New Zealand and internationally as a practitioner with a sound track record of achievement who uses a practical, but rigorous, approach.
Piet’s experiences are many and varied and include being the Chief Engineer of an airline, Systems Development Advisor to the South African Air Force, 20 years working in the South African defence, marine consulting engineering and aerospace industries, and Director of Technology Commercialisation at the University of South Australia. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Canterbury Innovation Incubator and Christchurch's Recovered Materials Foundation, taking the project from concept to being its founding CEO.
Piet is currently Director of the Master of Engineering Management programme and a former director of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Canterbury. Piet mentors CEOs, consults with businesses and he also delivers training workshops.
He has presented numerous short courses and custom in-house workshops for local and international organisations including technology companies, district and city councils, electricity companies, infrastructure companies, government departments, and sports organisations.
Piet has developed a unique training style that combines underlying theory, practical examples and case studies into an integrated programme. He believes that learning should take place in a relaxed and friendly environment and that underlying principles should be taught first, before specifics, applications or tools are addressed. Participants therefore gain a thinking framework that can be readily remembered and applied over a wide spectrum in the workplace.
