CREATE AND IMPLEMENT BREAKTHROUGH STRATEGIES

In this highly active session, Bandrowski gives a five-step process for creating and implementing winning strategies and achieving breakthroughs in performance. To kick off the session, he facilitates a discussion of what the members believe does and doesn’t work in strategic thinking and execution. Using this input, he presents in a highly interactive way the five-step creative planning process and a selection from over fifty strategic thinking techniques based on the needs of the participants. Numerous real-world examples are used. In the last part of the session, the heart of the strategic thinking process is applied to an issue or opportunity common to the group, or to one a member has on which everyone can contribute.

Topics include:

• How to get insights into a company’s strategic situation and industry.
• Overcome obstacles to achieving goals.
• Take creative leaps “out of the box”.
• Turn wild ideas into attractive options.
• Make strategic decisions.
• Develop a compelling strategy and vision.
