Strategic Leadership Building Blocks of Operational Strategies

Objective: 

Literature reveals that the building blocks of competitive strategy are not products and markets but business processes. This two day workshop empowers managers to increase competitive success by transforming key processes into strategic capabilities.

Content/Benefit Day One:
Day one of the seminar deals with strategic leadership. Strategic leadership is defined as the manager’s ability to anticipate, envision, maintain flexibility, think strategically and work with others to initiate changes that will create a viable future for the organisation. The overall objective is to exploit the leadership capabilities of management to create an organisation that is:

• Understanding the future.
• Calling the tune.
• Taking calculated risks.
• Defying old paradigms.
• Renewing continually.
• Managing through creative tension.
• Inspired with pack leadership.
• Focused on aligning value adding components.
• Focused on trust, the most critical resource.
• Focused on masses of imagination and inspiration.

Content/Benefit Day Two:

Day two focuses on empowering managers to identify opportunities as well as to determine and deploy well thought strategies. The building blocks of strategy which are focused on are:

• The essence of strategy is to perform activities differently from the competition and/or to perform activities better than the competition.
• Creating strategies through combining and sharing of value activities.
• Competitive advantages originate from the way these value activities fit and reinforce one another.
• Strategic fit creates competitive advantage and superior profitability.
• Strategies are about core competencies, critical resources and key success factors.
• The success of a strategy depends on doing many things well - not just a few - and integrating them.
• If there is no fit among activities there is no distinctive strategy and little sustainability.
