StrateXecution: Successful Strategy Implementation Using Systems Thinking, Agile Mindset and Portfolio Management with Lawrence Suda and Anthony Paris

What You Will Learn

Upon completion of this training, learners will be able to: 

  • Use systems thinking to develop an effective strategy implementation plan.
  • Make collaborative decisions with other business functional team members.
  • Apply agile project management concepts to drive the implementation of the strategy using objectives & key results (OKRs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) to deliver a balance scorecard covering market share, customer loyalty, employee motivation, profitability and ESG score 

Description

Most organizations struggle to execute the full potential of their business strategies. You need to ask yourself several important questions:

  • Is your implementation bold, focused, and as simple as possible?
  • Do you mobilize the right resources?
  • Do you leverage insights on customers and competitors?
  • Do you promote team engagement and cross-business cooperation?
  • Do you own the decisions you make?
  • Do you have an agile organization?
  • Do you conduct the right projects in your portfolio at the right time?

This immersive, experiential simulation lab will show you how to deliver a given strategy. It will also give you deep insight into the nature of practical change management, decision-making, portfolio management, and an agile mindset. The training comes at the right time as we enter a new era of profound change. Anchored by a high-reality computer simulation of a small business needing to re-invent itself and grow into a medium-sized business, the lab creates a highly engaging, hands-on environment that will enable you to experience collaborative decisions with other functional team members while considering project portfolios to support delivery of the required strategy.
