New training: Strategic action in practice

Strategic action in practice: why vision, change and implementation are not separate

In a world where organisations have to respond to changes at an increasingly rapid pace, strategic action becomes more important than ever. Yet in practice, we see that strategy, change processes and implementation are often organised separately. With all the ensuing consequences: beautiful plans get stuck on paper, change processes get bogged down and projects miss their connection to the strategic course.

At Netherlands Business Academy, we believe that real impact is created when you combine these three forces. That is why, starting in autumn 2025, we are offering for the first time a unique triptych: Strategic action in practice – from course setting to change and project realisation.

  In three master classes, built from components of our MBA programme, we take participants step-by-step:

• from formulating a sharp, future-proof strategy
• to creating support and movement in the organisation
• to the actual realisation of projects and results

A programme in which thinking and doing go hand in hand, always with an eye for the human side and the changing context in which organisations operate today.

Why now?

We live in a time when traditional strategic planning models offer less and less support. The world is fluid, the expectations of customers, employees and society are constantly changing. Agility, leadership and the ability to adjust quickly have become essential. Those who think alone will not get there. Those who act alone lack direction. It is the combination that makes the difference.

For whom?

This triptych was developed for professionals who actively contribute to organisational development, policy, projects or change processes. Think of project leaders, team leaders, policy advisers, programme managers and other professionals who not only want to move with change, but also actively steer it.

Practical information

The master classes will take place at Van der Valk Hotel Vianen, always from 14:00 to 21:00, including dinner.

Dates: 27 October 2025, 8 December 2025 and 19 January 2026.

The total price is €1,500 (excluding VAT) for the three master classes, plus €199.50 location costs. By now offering these masterclasses as a coherent triptych, participants save €597 compared to participating separately.
