Concept

The influence of strategy on business success is undisputed; there cannot be too much strategic competence in today’s dynamic environment. The smart answers to strategic questions and challenges are necessary for survival, future success and the ability to differentiate oneself clearly from the competition.

At the same time, strategies give guidance and help to make decisions in concrete situations. In order for this to be reality, participants in this strategy seminar receive practical guidance for professional strategy development and learn to successfully implement those strategies within the company. Then, and only then, can ideas and visions be turned into intented results.

Target group

This 4-day seminar is aimed at managers at all levels. This means executives, entrepreneurs, department heads, along with specialists and experts without management responsibility with corresponding background experience.
It is also appropriate for emerging managers who should acquire a modern grasp of strategy for future responsibilities.

Areas of Focus

Modern Strategic Management

The strategy of a business is much too important as for it to disappear as a plan into a drawer. We demonstrate the causal mechanisms and contexts, always with the awareness that even the best strategies have only a limited lifetime:

  • Relation between vision, concept and strategy
  • Why strategy is so often misunderstood
  • Varieties of strategy development
  • Sensible strategy processes

Strategic Analysis – Establishing the Need for Action

Adept strategic analysis creates transparency, permits a concrete discussion of the current situation, and reveals the first strategic options:

  • The view of neighbouring systems: environment, customers, and competitive analysis
  • Looking inward – core competences and resources
  • Sensible tools for analysis from experience
  • How to demonstrate the need for action and course corrections

Shaping the Future – Developing Strategic Options

Based on rigorous analysis of the initial situation, strategic options can be conceived to also foster success into the future:

  • Why thinking in terms of options is so important
  • How to devise strategic options
  • Why employees should be included
  • What differentiates good strategic options from utopian ideas
  • Checking plausibility to avoid dangerous mistakes

Formulating Promising Strategies

The demands on formulating strategy are diverse. We show what reality says about the most important instruments of strategy formulation:

  • Requirements for promising strategic formulas
  • Methods and instruments for formulating strategies
  • Translating strategic plans into budgets and objectives
  • Best practices and exemplary cases

Implementation and Strategy Realisation

Without successful implementation every strategy will evaporate. We show how strategies can be implemented and monitored:

  • Self within the implementation process
  • Promising change management
  • Strategic controlling
