Our commitment to the success of our clients leads us to share rather than just apply our skills and knowledge. Better strategies depend on high quality strategy development, which in turn requires relevant strategic planning skills.
We have a training programme for business leaders and strategy specialists to build these skills. The programme usually includes:
- An introduction to strategy, explaining how to achieve superior profitability through sustainable competitive advantage.
- A short session on assessing industry attractiveness.
- Global and national status, and megatrends. Strategies are more likely to be successful when they are riding sustainable trends or correctly anticipating changes. A deeper understanding of the forces driving economic, social and environmental change helps to correctly identify and evaluate strategic options.
We also offer workshops covering topics of relevance to our clients. These can include strategy development exercises designed to build leaders’ knowledge of strategy concepts and to practise using strategy development tools. Examples of past workshops include:
- Organisation design and development
- Fast scenario development
- Governance of strategy
- Strategy development process
- Industry evolution
- Market entry strategy
- Strategy and operations
- Strategies to address specific economic, social, or environmental issues
When provided for a single organisation, the workshops often have a short introduction on strategy concepts and then a series of structured sessions to analyse a strategic issue or review a proposed strategy.
