BMGI Hosts Workshops on Strategic Thinking and Strategic Planning

One-day workshops in Omaha, NE designed to boost the ability of businesses to create, plan and execute their operational strategy.

2014-03-21

OMAHA, NE, March 21, 2014 (Press-News.org) Some companies excel at creating strategy, but then fall short of planning how they'll deliver. Others fail to connect their strategy with their resources in order to effectively execute. Still others don't know where to start in the first place. In the end, no matter how an organization's operational strategy is lacking, the result is disappointment.

To address this misalignment in organizational strategy, BMGI is hosting two one-day workshops on May 13th and 14th in Omaha, NE.

Workshop: Strategic Thinking: The Thinking Behind the Planning
Leaders often jump right into strategic planning without doing the thinking that must come first. This one-day workshop is designed to help leaders learn what it means to be a strategic thinker and how they can create insights--new and unique ways of looking at their business, customers and competitive environment--before they start the formal planning.
Date: May 13th
Location: Omaha, NE
Price: $399 per attendee, group discounts available

Date: May 14th
Location: Omaha, NE
