Developing Winning Strategies Masterclass (Coming Summer 2024)

Learn actionable ways to develop and execute winning strategies.

We have all experienced a planning process that ends with a plan that never gets touched again. One of Mr. K’s executive associates described plans as “BS, three-holed-punched.”

Our masterclass will avoid this type of planning. Instead, we discuss approaches that have been proven to be quick, simple and easy to implement. We will focus on successful planning tools, such as:

• Your customer-driven value discipline

• Planning for drivers of change in your industry

• Analytic tools for your market and portfolio product review

• Addressing problem solving effectively to create winning strategies

• Tactical innovation and strategic alignment audit

• Approaches for leading your people through change

• Organizational structure and strategy in support of your plan

• Roles and responsibilities
