Big 5 of Strategy Certification Program

Coach what matters most in the next decade: strategic capability.

Most certifications teach you to coach personality. This one equips you to coach how leaders think, decide, and act strategically — using the only research-backed assessment built to measure strategic competency.

Course Overview

Go beyond personality. Coach capability.

Most self-assessment programs focus on personality styles. The Big 5 of Strategy Certification helps you coach something different: strategic capability.

Built on a research-backed framework, this certification equips you to develop competencies like strategic thinking, execution, adaptability, and transformation. You gain practical tools and coaching frameworks that help individuals and organizations strengthen the capabilities needed for stronger leadership, better execution, and long-term success.

In this next chapter shaped by AI, transformation, and rapid change, being strategic is becoming one of the most important human competitive advantages — and there has never been a more important time to coach it well.


Research-Backed Framework

A concrete, measurable framework spanning 5 strategic competencies and 20 sub-competencies, not another personality label.

Practical Coaching Tools

A complete debrief methodology, coaching manual, and assessment you can put to work in your very next client engagement.

Built for What's Next

Targeted preparation for the skills leaders need between today and 2030 — the competencies most coaching programs leave abstract.
