Please note, this is a two-part workshop. Parts 1 & 2 are included in your registration.
Are you looking to articulate your strategy that defines your strategic imperatives and the key areas you will not be focusing on? Have you searched for a way to define your differentiating capabilities and your customer needs? If so, this workshop is for you.
This workshop provides a framework for B2B organizations to develop and articulate winning strategies by applying a core set of strategic concepts. If your organization is looking for growth or improving its strategic thinking, this workshop will build your foundational knowledge. Key concepts will focus on three areas: What is Strategy? What is the Momentum of Your Business,
Articulating Sweet Spots, and ‘Strategy on a Page’. Participants will leave this session with an approach to defining the current state of your business and a market strategy to inform decision-making. These concepts will be applied through real insights, not a series of fill-in-the-blank templates. Properly defining and developing a strategy must be market informed.
Developing a strategy is hard work and we hope this time gives every participant the support they need. Additionally, it will also provide an opportunity to network with other attendees.
