Sun Tzu Strategist is a professional certification for participants who are highly exceptional in strategic thinking. The structure of the 3-part assessment is as follow:
1. Strategy Handbook – The participant is required to write their own Art of War thesis. The participant can freely use their creativity to pen their strategy compass. Exceptional works will be showcased in our Sun Tzu exhibits.
2. Strategy Formulation – The participant is required to do a detailed analysis of a case study, which can be fictional or past event or current affairs. The participant is required to identify the key roles, describe the macro environment, analyze the strategic process and formulate strategy. Exceptional works will be featured in our Sun Tzu Exhibits.
3. Strategy Competition – Once the participants passed the first 2 categories, they can qualify for the strategy competition. The participants are required to compete in our multi player game, Sun Tzu Businesscraft. In this competition, each participant will play the role of CEO in a virtual business environment. This competition will be held annually and only the top 3 players will be granted the certification.
This assessment is open to participants who have at least obtained certification of participation for the Intermediate Sun Tzu Course. The fee for the whole assessment is USD$100. The next intake for the strategist assessment will be in June 2010.
