Strategic Project Leadership
With Bhajan Kaur, CEO and Partner at INSCALE
Overview
Strategic initiatives are essential for translating organisational ambitions into measurable business results. Yet even well-designed initiatives can fall short due to unclear strategic priorities, fragmented governance, misaligned stakeholders and delayed executive decisions.
This two-day module focuses on the role of senior leaders in guiding complex strategic initiatives from initial intent through execution and value realisation. Through practical frameworks, case discussions, decision-making exercises and peer learning, participants will explore how to strengthen executive sponsorship, align stakeholders, manage uncertainty and maintain strategic direction as circumstances evolve.
The course combines executive-level insights with practical application, enabling participants to address challenges within their own organisations and develop a personal leadership action plan.
Key topics:
- Strategic project leadership and the causes of initiative failure
- Strategic alignment, business case integrity and value realisation
- Executive sponsorship, governance and decision rights
- Stakeholder management, influence and cross-functional leadership
- Risk, uncertainty and executive judgement
- Adaptive execution and communication under pressure
- Building organisational capabilities through strategic initiatives
After this course you will be able to:
- Identify the strategic, organisational and leadership factors that cause complex initiatives to underperform or fail.
- Evaluate strategic initiatives by assessing their alignment with business priorities, underlying assumptions, potential value and expected outcomes.
- Design effective governance structures that strengthen accountability, clarify decision rights and accelerate executive decision-making.
- Mobilise stakeholders and build commitment across functions, geographies and organisational boundaries, even without direct authority.
- Make informed decisions under uncertainty, including when to continue, adjust, pause, pivot or stop an initiative.
- Communicate progress, risks, setbacks and strategic changes effectively to executive teams, boards and other stakeholders.
- Develop a practical leadership action plan to improve the execution of a strategic initiative within your organisation.
