Strategy Analysis
This week, you'll connect strategic analysis to strategy execution. You'll walk through a series of questions to frame your analysis and ground your approach using the strategist's toolkit--and you'll learn a new tool, Hypothesis Testing, to unearth key assumptions related to choosing a strategy and assessing the validity of those assumptions. You'll also review data sources and how to "make the data speak" to guide your strategy decisions.

Very good contents.
Thank you so much. It is the most difficult course among the 4 but your approach made it easy and useful.
Good course. Gives good overview in a structured way of Strategy Planning and Execution. However, it requires more work and of course practise.

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.
