This program is sponsored by Business Professionals' Network, Inc. Business Professionals' Network, Inc. is registered with the National State Board of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors under #107810. Course Catalog Description: Creating Competitive Advantage: Developing a Roadmap for Sustainable Performance. One of leadership’s primary responsibilities is to develop a strategy that defines a unique and valuable position in your marketplace that will provide the company a competitive advantage. This is easier said than done! While we would all agree that strategic planning is a critical element for organization success, strategic planning today is a paradox. On the one hand, a strategic plan should be detailed., with a horizon of a decade or more. On the other hand, organizations must be adaptable. What happens when breakthrough technology, new emerging competitors or global competition change the rules of the game? How well does your company recognize these changes and adapt to determine a new course of action? This webcast will provide you with the ideas, skills and confidence to be more proactive in developing the strategic plan for your organization.
