Strategy

Strategy Formulation and Implementation

Strategy decisions taken by Senior Executives have long-term implications for the firm’s future growth & profitability. In this program, participants will learn advanced frameworks & concepts, for making strategic & organizational choices at the Business Unit Level. They would develop a working knowledge of the approaches that Senior Leaders use to resolve organizational issues, in formulating & implementing effective strategies. Participants will be equipped with the tools, skills & frameworks to allocate resources, measure performance, manage risk, and execute strategy. Participants will understand the common challenges that prevent or derail strategy implementation, and learn how to design systems & structures to meet their organization’s strategic objectives, even under uncertainty.

Who should attend

The program is intended for Senior Leaders heading different functions or business units. Potential participants could be those who are responsible for planning and executing competitive strategies.

Pedagogy

Live online Sessions are run through Zoom. Three pedagogical approaches are deployed: Academic interaction & discussion, Group Work, Case Studies and Simulations. There would be live break-outs as required. Participants are given assignments before each session. Submissions / responses to the assignments are further discussed in class, and used in case-debriefing. These are short, punchy and designed to build on the session’s learning.
To ensure constant engagement for participants, there would be seamless content sharing, questions, and interactions between delegates & faculty during the sessions. To ensure the application of frameworks & concepts learned throughout the session, a Simulation Exercise in groups is also included.
