Course Overview

It’s a surprising reality that in many companies around the world business and technology strategies are either i) non-existent; ii) loosely defined; iii) lacking integration and alignment; or, iv) poorly communicated throughout the enterprise.  This is a significant point given that effective and well-defined strategies that are properly coordinated and well-executed can significantly increase a company’s competitive position in its markets and can greatly add value to the overall enterprise and its shareholders.

 

Zero Delta University’s Enterprise Strategies and Tactics Modeling course is designed to provide students with a common model for expressing the enterprise strategy – from the enterprise-level conceptual model to detailed-level specific events and activities that either shape it or enable it to become a reality.

Course Details

Students will learn how to define in a common manner enterprise strategies and will link these strategies to the various assessments that are performed to determine the viability and probability of success of the strategies.  Students will also learn how to link strategies to process areas and will understand how they might link to corresponding technology strategies that accelerate the success of a given strategy.

 

Enterprise Strategies & Tactics Modeling is an intensive two-day course.  During the first day, students will:

 

·         explore the theories behind effective strategy formulation;

·         be exposed to a structured methodology and process structure that is designed to align strategic intent with tactical execution efforts;

·         be immersed in the details of a common enterprise modeling language and design notation that can be used to effectively model the enterprise strategy;

·         understand how various enterprise strategy modeling components are constructed to create a strategic blueprint;

·         understand how to capture strategic assessment information so that the rationale behind the strategy can be captured and recorded for historical record-keeping and future analytics;

·         identify all of the various internal and external influencers that may impact the success of a given set of strategies;

·         understand how to link into an overall performance management framework specific performance goals and objectives to enterprise strategies and tactical execution programs;

 

Students will learn this information in an in-classroom interactive session during which the instructor will guide the students through the information and challenge them to identify ways in which the ideas and concepts can be applied in individual settings given various constraints identified by the students.  Students will not only benefit from the instructor-led instruction, but will greatly benefit by collaborating with other students who come from diverse backgrounds and have different insights into the challenges and opportunities that exist in their work environment.  This collaboration is an essential element to this course.

 

The second day of the course will involve an intensive hands-on instruction and workshop effort wherein students will design a fully-expressed enterprise strategy and tactical execution model for either i) a fictitious enterprise, or ii) their own enterprise.  Day two will involve:

 

·         an overview of how modeling tools can be used to effectively capture the enterprise strategy and tactical execution models;

·         be briefed on the basic functionality of a model-compliant tool;

·         receive instruction on how to use the tools to construct the models necessary to successfully complete the modeling exercise;

·         the student creating fully expressed models that illustrate how a top-down enterprise strategy and tactical model connects to organization areas, process areas, and technology areas of the enterprise.

Course Completion

Students will earn a certificate of completion when the course is finished.  Students will also be eligible to sit for a follow-on exam, which when passed successfully, will enable the student to pursue formal certification in their desired area of study within Zero Delta University’s formal certification program.
