Useful practical perspectives.

This course didn't seem as refined as the previous modules; with a lack of case studies or a robust explanation of tools.

Also no example assessment which is helpful for reference.

The Strategic Planning and Execution course offered by the University of Virginia was an excellent learning experience. The course was structured in a very clear and practical way, moving from foundational concepts of strategy to detailed frameworks for analysis, formulation, and execution. What I found especially valuable was the balance between theory and application. The instructors explained strategic models like the Balanced Scorecard, SWOT, and execution frameworks in a simple yet impactful way, and then connected them to real-world business cases. This made it easy to understand not just what strategy is, but how to implement it effectively within an organization. The peer-reviewed assignments, such as developing a strategic execution plan for a chosen company, were very engaging. They pushed me to think critically, apply concepts to realistic scenarios, and evaluate peers’ work constructively. This hands-on approach strengthened my learning and gave me confidence in applying strategy tools in professional contexts. Overall, this course was really good and very, very helpful. It deepened my understanding of strategic planning, highlighted the importance of execution, and provided me with actionable frameworks I can use in my own work. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in building strong strategy and execution skills.

The skills have learned in this course is to become a strategic decision maker. The course suits me for being an IT Manager working in the organization I work for and it will help me face challenges in my everyday job. This requires me to address the issues on day-to-day basis and make better strategic decisions at a very fast pace. This course has provided me with the knowledge to conduct analysis, solve problems for the organization and strategize on decision making to achieve better business value.

This Strategic Planning Skills course has taught me to become an innovator, a persuasive player, and a champion of strategic decision making.

Hi.

I enjoyed the course. It helps having 3 professors teaching the course. Also, I liked the questions that popped in the videos.

The information included about the course mentioned 3 to 5 hours weekly. It takes more time.

For example, the materials for week 4 are longer than for the previous week. Suggestion: the materials for week 4 should de assign for 2 weeks instead of 1.

Furthermore, the hours to develop the assigments and peer review takes much longer than 3 hours. Suggestion: assign more hours.

I got confused with the due dates thinking it was the 23 of June instead of the 20. Wanted to send a message by chat but couldn't. I took quite a bit of time resolving the problem because needed to revise 2 more projects to finish.

Thank you very much!!

The course was really good, as it provided the necessary theoretical framework as well as practical application. It made me feel like I was in the actual classroom and not only relegated online. The pop up quizzes kept the attention and allowed us to really integrate the information while learning.

Execution is a key factor because it is the moment to put into action what is planned in the organization, and for it to be successful it is necessary to comply with what was designed, therefore experimenting and aligning individual efforts with the strategy is essential, thank you Coursera!

This course helped me to learn strategic analysis and thinking of new business opportunities, market values, different approaches to succeed in the business. This is great to learn, built ourselves and review others execution plan which will provide more confidence to evolve in the market.

Very informative, concise and entertaining course material. The level of detail and amount of content repeating in the tests and final exam was not really for me but that's probably to the online nature of the course. I still can highly recommend this one.

One of the best cources if you are looking to gain strategic skills to your personal "portfolio". There is no abstract and unnecessary info in the course.

This course takes the knowledge that you already know about strategy and goes a little deeper thereby offering a deeper understanding on how strategy planning and execution has somewhat eveolved

This course effectively equipped me with practical strategic analysis frameworks and actionable tools essential for developing, testing, and implementing comprehensive business strategies.

A great hands on way of reviewing existing strategies and business plans and find angles to reactivate or adjust plans, with a divers toolbox, within and before the execution phase
