Why Strategy & Vision Development and Implementation are critical business functions?
When running a company, most entrepreneurs have ambitious plans for chasing success, but seven out of eight companies fail to achieve profitable growth. This indicates a gap as most companies feel a disconnect between strategy and vision formulation and final execution.
To achieve long-term success and goals, you must have a result-driven strategy aligned with your vision. Your organization’s vision is the soul of leadership and the foundation of design. However, if your company cannot make strategic decisions, plan change management, formulate a strategy, and act as per the right vision, the chances of success are at rock bottom.
Let WHA be the revolutionaries making your organization’s business strategy and vision development process more accessible and accurate so that you can focus on the right.

I took Dr. Carter's Strategic Management course my senior year, and it has been my favorite class to date. I have never met a professor who cares so much for her students. Her class was challenging, and she always demanded creative and intellectual work. The concepts and values I learned in Dr. Carter's class will continue to be applicable and useful in my career. Her passion for management and people are inspiring. I highly recommend Dr. Carter as a professor, leader and mentor.

Michael is an excellent strategist. He developed and implemented plans to open 18 big box grocery stores within a 12-month period. As a member of the team that accomplished this task, I can attest to Mr. Mike's leadership skills in providing great direction so that the process was both effective and efficient. The stores all opened on time, were complete, and ready for business. I would recommend Michael as a key component to any group that wants to be successful in creating a multi-store strategic plan.
