Strategy Management Professional (SMP) and Strategy Planning Professional (SPP) Certification Exam Preparation

This workshop guides delegates through the complete strategy lifecycle: analysing the internal and external environment, formulating a coherent strategic direction, transforming the organisation to support it, executing through clear frameworks and KPIs, and engaging stakeholders to sustain results.

Built around the IASP Body of Knowledge 3.0, the course combines case studies, hands-on interactive exercises, and expert facilitation from a 20-year strategy practitioner. Delegates leave fully prepared, with dedicated exam guidance, to sit the SMP or SPP certification examination.
