Business decision-making in the 21st century is defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (known as VUCA). That is the baseline from which you must lead your organisation. Doing so requires that corporate strategies be responsive, agile, and adaptable. The challenges you face are broad, ranging from the impacts of globalisation, climate change, and supply chain disruptions to addressing talent retention and diversity, equity, and inclusion measures.
Competition is not defined merely by other firms that share the same capabilities. The whole concept of industry has become dangerously misleading, as many threats are not coming from within your own industry at all.
In this eight-week programme, you will map your competitive advantage and learn advanced techniques to formulate, evaluate and execute winning strategies.
Why does strategy fail?
of executives believe that the COVID-19 pandemic will fundamentally change how they conduct business over the next five years.
are concerned that the pandemic will continue to impact their customers' needs and wants over the next five years.
believe they have the expertise, resources and commitment to successfully pursue new growth.
What is strategy? Understand the scope of your organisation in a challenging environment to produce goal-oriented results, and focus on the core building blocks to make strategic choices and carry them to reality.
The key to success is creating an adaptive business capable of sustaining dynamic environments. Generate winning strategies and learn how to renew them in times of crisis for a competitive advantage.
Understand the key differences between a good and bad strategy to create a great strategy. Translate this into your organisational strategy to achieve your goals in times of uncertainty.
Get an introduction to ecosystems and why it is important to think beyond an industry. Then identify new value creation opportunities in your ecosystem to create breakthrough strategies.
Explore key aspects of managing growth and competition, including alliances, co-opetition and mergers and acquisitions. Also, examine how legacy companies cope with competition from outside their industry and alternative ways to expand and diversify.
Get an in-depth understanding of corporate strategy and learn how to make an impact in turbulent times.
Learn how to make adjustments to survive in and capitalise on external environments. Understand intended and emergent strategies, agility, adaptation & pivoting and the models of management.
Once you have a strategy, what's next? Master how to execute a strategy to achieve your objectives and learn about the key challenges of implementing one.
