Learning about strategic management helps me in developing personal skills such as time management, setting objectives, prioritizing work tasks, managing interruptions and in developing planning aids. Time management, for instance, involves deciding how I allocate time to achieve the set objectives. It entails identifying the amount of working time allocated each week, the type and number of job-related activities needed that have to be undertaken every week, and the quantity of time spent on each activity. Developing a strategy of how to utilize time effectively gradually improves my life.

As a result of capacity building and skills training in an organization, I become increasingly capable.
