Program Background
In today’s uncertain world, strategies must be agile. Those organizations that do not afford equal attention to strategic agility and innovation, risk stagnating, losing their value and competitive edge. Innovations are adopted by public organizations to improve the services delivered to users and citizens, with the broad aim of improving quality of life and building better and stronger communities. Knowledge of the processes of innovation adoption and the characteristics of innovative organizations is rapidly developing in public services. The unique interdependency between strategies, innovation, policy & planning creates unmatched organizational value that helps drive productivity and outstanding performance for effective service delivery.
In our extended role as a capacity builder for the public sector, the Kenya School of Revenue Administration (KESRA) offer to fulfil this mandate by offering an International program in Corporate Strategy Planning, Innovation & policy. This highly interactive programme is designed to equip experienced professionals with the practical tools to effectively formulate and execute transformative strategies that drive growth, maximize organization value and make a dynamic impact in our rapidly changing global business environment. The program provides participants with enhanced knowledge on how to develop and deliver innovative corporate strategies aimed at improving organizational agility to sustain outstanding performance with acceptable global governance practices. The course critically evaluates and describes transformational leadership models, frameworks, and their contributions to leadership practice and effectiveness in the context of an organization’s corporate strategy.
