regarding the strategy and how it helps the business organisation to smoothly carry out their
activity and achieve desired goals and objectives. The virtual workshop organised helped in to
enhance my learning capabilities which will also help in achieving future career and objectives.
During the workshop I have learned that strategy is the process of determining the goals needed
to be achieved by the organisation and effectively leading them to perform better. I have also
learned that strategy is one of the essential components behind the growth and development of th
e organisation, as it help them to determine the clear path needed to be considered by them in
order to perform better in the marketplace. This virtual workshop conducted was very helpful in
enhancing my learning capacity and enhancing my skills effectively.

learning regarding how various factors leads to impacting the profitability and competitive
advantage of the organisation. This work shop helped me to enhance my learning regarding the
various five forces available in the marketplace. This overall workshop was useful in improving
my knowledge which will further help me in my career development. From the second
