TESTIMONIALS

I have been practicing strategy implementation for a few years now. For the first time, I have found in the SIP certification a holistic body of knowledge that brings it all together and allows me to leverage my strategy, performance mgmt and project mgmt experience under one same umbrella. It is exciting to see how a distinct, new professional role – the Strategy Implementation Professional – is being created and acknowledged. I believe that companies across all industries and sectors will benefit from having professionals certified in this critical area and hence be able to execute their strategies more successfully.

Marcello Carmignani, Director Change Management & Programs, Europe Western Union

I just wanted to express my thanks for introducing the Strategy Implementation Professional course. It has been a fantastic learning experience and it has also helped me to secure a new position. During my interview I referred to the Strategy Roadmap and how it could be used to help manage and support complex projects and programmes. They were clearly impressed as they gave me the job - so thank you!

Gurpreet Rehal, Transformation Project Manager

I have seen both in my own experience as well as in conversations with other companies that the disconnect between strategy and implementation and the various teams involved is a huge barrier to full success. This course and certification directly address that need by bridging strategic business decisions and the execution of initiatives to make sure all players are speaking the same language, thinking of the same strategic issues, and knowing how to get initiatives executed.

Jason Cassidy, Chief Executive Officer, Project Management Academy

I have been looking, for some time, for a course to upgrade my strategy execution skills but everything I came across was too theoretical, too academic. The search though was over the minute I came across the course offered by the Strategy Implementation Institute. It had everything I was looking for – clear structure, relevant and practical content, connection to a community of professionals. Antonio and Robin have created a great course, a must for every strategy implementation professional and every organisation nowadays.
