Workshop Themes

Tailored workshops can be customised to the needs of your business, or business unit. Our five most common workshop themes include:

STRATEGY FOR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

There are two ways to achieve competitive advantage. One is by better positioning on strategic factors. The other is by inventing a new business model. This workshop asks:

  • How can you research strategic factors?
  • Do you have clear positions on where you stand?
  • How do you design a new business model?

IDENTIFYING KEY STAKEHOLDERS

Stakeholders are now front and centre in any modern strategic discussion or planning. But how do you identify them? Which ones are “key”? This workshop asks:

  • Does your team genuinely understand what’s going on in your industry?
  • Can you identify your “key” stakeholders?
  • Can you describe your target customer clearly?

POSITIONING A BUSINESS FOR SUCCESS

Business is operating in a volatile world brought on not only by the pandemic but also by changes in management thinking. However, most management teams lack a consistent framework to address these changes. This workshop asks:

  • Can you list five ingredients for success in your industry?
  • Have you been developing strategy looking inside-out?
  • Is your organisation a Champion or a Plodder?

EXECUTING STRATEGY

It seems obvious, but you can’t just design strategy, you have to execute it too. Research shows this is precisely where things come unstuck. This workshop asks:

  • Have you tried to do too much in the past?
  • Have you been designing real actions and an action plan?
  • Have you put someone in charge of monitoring progress?

SETTING EFFECTIVE OBJECTIVES

Most management teams make a complete mess of writing clear and measurable objectives. The list becomes a hotchpotch of brainstormed ideas and vague wishes. This workshop asks:

  • What exactly do you want your key stakeholders to do?
  • Are you aware of the three ways to measure business results?
  • Where do mission, vision and purpose statements fit in?
