This course is very helpful. It emanates from the strategist' mind. The way this course empowers a person is phenomenal. I personally learnt a lot with this course and hope to learn further as well.

It is a basic course, if you are already familiar with strategy and management principles avoid this one and jump on to the next one i.e. Advanced Business Strategy.

I enjoyed the course. I struggled with the Capability Analysis, though. The template could have used one or two examples to help understand the strategy tool.

May be there is a technical glitch in answering the Questions of daily assignments while selecting options of the question type 'select all that apply '.

Course content is structured and rich. Peer review assignment might be the only downside because you have to wait for someone to review your work.

I had a great experience while pursuing this course. The best part was the assignment given, that made me understand the concepts in depth.

A very good in-depth course, detailed and with many tools on how to analyze and develop a business strategy. A bit too theoretical though.

A good beginners, foundational course. I do wish there was more peer support available so that learning groups could be better encouraged

Great introduction of business strategy ! A lot of theories (too much about perfect market in my opinion) and an excellent content.

Think it was a very good course, a bit high level though. It is "Foundations" though, so that is a somewhat unfair criticism.
