Posted: Mon 4th Aug 2025

Strategy tends to confuse businesses not because it’s complicated, but because it’s often misunderstood, misapplied or miscommunicated.

This session, led by Melissa Wusaty, clarifies what strategy is (and what it isn’t), explores the difference between good and bad strategies and introduces the essential components every business, regardless of size, needs to begin building one with confidence.

Topics covered in this session

  • What strategy is (and isn’t)

  • What makes a good strategy

  • How to start building a strategy for your business
