WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
Across industries and geographies, organizations continue to struggle with one persistent challenge: executing strategy effectively. While many organizations invest heavily in strategic planning, research consistently shows that a significant proportion of strategic initiatives fail—not due to poor ideas, but due to weak execution, misalignment, and insufficient follow-through.

The Certified Strategy Execution Professional (CSEP) addresses this critical gap by focusing on the systematic translation of strategy into action. The overall mission of this certificate is to equip leaders and managers with a structured, repeatable execution framework that aligns objectives, resources, people, and performance measurement.
