What is this 'Microlearning Course' about?
Strategy is essentially made up of the leadership's view, assessments, and choices. In a VUCA environment, leaders' choices are crucial. They have to think ahead to ensure the survival and sustainability of the organization. What choices should leaders make now to prepare for future challenges?
In an increasingly VUCA world where our future environment is anything but certain, strategic planning can be especially challenging.
How then can you develop the capability to think ahead and plan strategically to prepare your organization for future challenges? This is the challenge that I seek to address in this course.
Who is this course designed for?
This course is designed for CEOs and Senior Management as they prepare for the uncertainties. This course will develop one to be a Future Leader, who thinks ahead, to 'break it to fix it' and not wait for it to be broken and then fix it!
What will you take away?
Upon completing this course, you will:
1. Be more confident to lead your organization through this VUCA world.
2. Develop a greater ability to think ahead, and anticipate issues and challenges to confront realities squarely and make strategic decisions for your organization.
3. Have a framework to help your organization develop its purpose, goals and values.
4. Make plans and investments, with good policies, to manage your resources well.
5. Implement these roadmaps and plans in a strategic way as well as adapt the plans to an ever-changing environment.
