A focused subject for finance and consulting professionals running strategic reviews. Two courses on internal, external, positioning and process analysis frameworks, the toolkit every analyst leans on to understand a business and its market.
Strategic analysis is how finance and consulting teams turn a messy business question into a clear point of view. This subject covers the four angles that matter, internal, external, positioning and process, so analysts can size up a company, read its market and recommend a credible direction of travel.
See the learning outcomes →SWOT, PESTLE, Porter's Five Forces and the process toolkit, all in one short subject.
Internal and external first, then positioning and process. The full strategic analysis toolkit.
Every framework lands in a real business example, so analysts leave with a method they can run on Monday.

Strategic AnalysisStrategic Analysis is built as a single series. Two short courses, designed to be taken in order. Total time: roughly 2.5 hours, end to end.
Internal and external analysis frameworks. Internal analysis surfaces strengths and weaknesses for resource allocation; external analysis reads market dynamics, competition and opportunities so decisions stay aligned with reality.
Positioning frameworks find a company's unique strengths in a market and the threats facing them. Process frameworks drill into internal systems for efficiency gains. Together they give organisations a competitive edge over the medium term.
