materials for SANS's MGT514: Security Strategic Planning, Policy, and Leadership

Wanted to take SANS mgt514 (GSTRT certificate). it's so expensive that my company refused me to. Do you know of any other source of info to get similar knowledge at lower price? I prefer paper back book ...but anything would be of help.
My second choice would be an MGT551: Building and Leading Security Operations Centers. but the price here is about the same. this knowledge probably is easier to get elsewhere. but maybe some advices where to start to get whole picture?
regards

I would suggest you to look at this class from Antisyphon. It has been founded a few years ago and most of their instructor are ex-SANS instructor. Their founder is John Strands famous for the GCIH course.
Chris Brenton has written a class very similar to SANS MGT514 (but shorter, only 16h). I took this class last year and I really liked it. It is only 545$USD. It is online and in 4 chunk of 4h in the afternoon (12h-4PM EST)

The next class is in April.
Another idea is an online program from University of Toronto Continuing education called "Cyber Security Management". It is a short non-credited program with only 3 course, the content is very much aligned toward the ISACA CISM course, but their intent is not to be a CISM bootcamp. It is relatively cheap (2K$ USD). I did the first 2 class and it is great. Internaltional student are permitted.

I am a technical guy and for the next few years i plan to keep it that way. Rather thought about architect / blue team / SOC leader but maybe I should get what is within my reach. Thanks I will consider those 2 options.
