The Strategy Unit has long been known for the quality of its analytical work, and the clear, critical thinking that underpins it. More recently, we were asked to provide leadership training and support for organisational development. We’ve also delivered a range courses to strengthen analytical capability and impact.
- Our leadership training stimulates and supports you to think differently. It’s designed for current or aspiring leaders and senior managers - as well as others, such as analysts, who inform decision making. Some of the sessions are particularly suited to Board development.
- Our analytics training will give you the skills and knowledge to develop your capability and confidence to support better decision-making.
- Our training is designed to support individuals, teams, organisations and systems.
Register online for upcoming events or contact us if you want to discuss your training and development needs.
