This unique executive program focuses on how to develop, test or surface your organization's strategic direction in the face of uncertainty and complexity. It introduces a new conceptual framework and methodology to assure innovative as well as disciplined strategic thinking in volatile and complex environments. It is a quantum change from traditional planning approaches. It focuses on concepts, frameworks and techniques to link strategic vision to core capabilities. It presents the various steps of our scenario-based strategic planning methodology, and in a workshop format applies them to your own business.
Objectives
Grounded in techniques aimed at countering common thinking traps and biases, this scenario-based methodology explicitly addresses environmental complexity and uncertainty, helps identify the organizational capabilities required to deal with them, and addresses how to develop and align core competencies at the corporate, divisional or business unit levels.
