Innovation Driven Strategies for Breakthrough Performance Course

Innovation Driven Strategies for Breakthrough Performance Course on 17th to 21st OCtober 2022

Course calendar

Introduction

The complex business environment we live in is fraught with opportunities created by new technologies, by shifts in customer preferences and behavior and by deregulation or new regulation. Quick and effective reaction to such changes means that organizations must remain agile; carefully planned strategic change cannot simply keep pace with the speed the market requires. Organizations require an unprecedented level of flexibility and building it is -more and more- the key to increased competitiveness.

The programme attempts to enable participants to assess their ability at developing professional yet flexible organizations that can respond to market opportunities in a faster and more effective fashion. 

Duration

5 Days

Who should attend?

• Senior executives heading organizational divisions or business units,
• CEOs,
• C-Suite Executives,
• Entrepreneurs
• Divisional Heads with 6 - 7 years of experience in leading roles.

Course objectives

The programme will help senior leaders and managers reflect on the managerial implications of leading companies through strategic changes associated with the following contexts:

• Bringing product innovation to market categories where it has been disregarded and complacency is the name of the game among competitors.
• Consider the question… Should an organization lead in disruption? Under which circumstances?
• Responding to opportunities created by technologies, market shifts or new (de)regulation; moving to the premium segment or rather develop a value based approach; moving forward or backwards in the value chain; crafting new alliances with new market intermediaries or simply bypass them with a more Direct-to-Consumer approach.
• Facing the challenges of broadening the scope of activity, becoming a truly global player.

Course Outline

Over the course of 3 days, the participants will learn how to: 

• Drive a new strategy against past success, by implementing new ways to create value.
• Establish an effective new unit for a radically different strategic business model.  
• Gain a competitive advantage through sharply defined performance metrics across the entire organization.
• Lead the product innovation effort.
• Manage with a clear understanding that innovating is not inventing.
• Build skills and attitudes into key organization units to enable change.
