"Since undertaking this course, my profile in the business has raised immensely with the CEO and other leaders. I now feel confident in my ability to identify gaps in strategy and to create alignment in our daily tasks to help achieve business goals. I’m proud to have been praised for my ability to manage others to deliver genuine strategic outcomes and recognised for thinking strategically."

The program reminded me of the importance of "stepping on the balcony" to make observations. It has also helped me take full ownership of my role and involvement within the organisation to lead change in the strategy space.

Adopting a strategic thinking focus has led me to manage synergy, hypothesis and rationale on M & A targets that I used to positively influence and align with senior stakeholders around those decisions and reach great outcomes.

"The Outperformer put together a superb program that covered the breadth and depth of the finance function and presented it in an easily digestible format that could be accessed remotely.  It is a unique and tailored experience, the facilitators were constantly tweaking their approach to ensure that any queries were resolved.""

"The Outperformer really knows how to challenge thinking and concepts, and facilitate all the learning sessions thanks to their expert knowledge. Our team has enjoyed having their thinking stretched through stimulating conversations with the facilitators and other participants.

It also helped formulate possibilities on data, modelling and automation, as well as diving more deeply and confidently into setting, shaping and implementing strategy. "

"Rather than taking a narrow view and getting lost in the details, my mindset has now shifted to take into account the “WHY” of every decision and its impact on long-term growth of the company, therefore creating strategic value.

It’s great to see my assessments being sought after, and my recommendations being put into practice.  The Senior Leadership Team has shown confidence and trust in my abilities, which I am sure will enable me to continue to lead strategic projects in the future."

"We’re often stuck within our own ‘bubble’ in terms of best practice and innovation, but hearing about how other teams are operating along with some valuable learnings from the experts in the field has given us a bar to aim at.

 Just seeing ‘what good looks like’ and having the practical application left to the team to work through has been eye-opening for a lot of junior and emerging members within our team.  "
