"It was one of the best courses I have ever taken, I liked the "Tools" of the Strategic Management which I am currently using them at my work. I feel I am equipped with the right "toolbox" I should use, having the theory behind it, and the rational that help me to gain confidence."

The Strategic Planning Professional (SPP) course provided me both the theory and practice of what it takes to devise a coherent, executable strategy. As a member of the DoD, I see great value in applying this knowledge to shape the strategic direction of my organization and implement, execute, and assess both the long-term strategy and strategic operating plan. The course work, case studies, templates all were very helpful in passing the exam and getting ready for the SPP certification process. Lastly, the professional cadre were very helpful and provided the individual attention to promptly answer every question I had about the content, process, and contributed greatly to my success in the course.
