The IMI Diploma in Strategy and Innovation is one of two new additions to the suite of IMI Diplomas linking to the Master of Business (MoB) framework.
The IMI Diploma in Strategy and Innovation will develop your capability to contribute to the strategic conversation of your organisation; you can expect to become fluent in the process of strategy development and strategic management. The programme is based upon strategic management frameworks relevant to both competitive commercial organisations and the public service.
The programme will develop your expertise in both the theory and the application of strategy, strategic planning, strategic thinking and strategic management. While the programme draws from a wide range of theories that have shaped the field, it will focus upon how you can apply the frameworks in practical and relevant settings. Throughout the programme, you will be expected to develop a strategic analysis project. You will be aided in this by faculty with broad practical knowledge and by meeting with senior executives deeply involved in strategic decision-making.
