Customized Training Programs |
|||
Over the past twenty five years we have worked with our clients to develop training programs that fit their unique needs. All of the programs consisted of using our proprietary books, software and experience to develop skills and enable the participants to apply them over a period of time. The time required depended on the need and complexity of the issues. We don't provide "cookie cutter"/ one type fits all programs...they are all tailored to meet client needs. |

One day strategy diagnostic session. This covered the key elements of a strategy and the type of thinking and decision making that is required to assess the current strategy and determine what needs to be modified or changed. This session can be used to determine what type of programs may be needed in other key strategic areas, such as, competitive evaluations, linking people and strategy, determining what type of reviews and contingency alerts may be required. |

Three day Strategic Thinking and Decision Making Workshop This program focused on the key steps required to develop a sound strategy and implementation plan. It used the combination of our best selling "Putting It All Together" which was updated in 2002 and will be updated again this year. It also used our unique StrategyLeader (r) software and tutor. The program focused on a real business segment that the client wished to assess and provided the foundation to institute an improved strategic planning process.

Competitive Intelligence and Teams This program enabled the client to select key competitors and assess their strategy and its implications on the client's current strategy. A multi-functional competitive team (consisting of technology, sales, marketing, financial, human resource professionals) was created to collect the intelligence and construct the competitors total business strategy. This team met quarterly after the two day briefing session to update the strategy and identify critical changes.

Venture Teams These sessions started with establishing dedicated multi-functional teams who were required to identify high potential new internal ventures. The process started with a two day briefing strategy orientation. Each team was provided copies of the software and tutor to enable them to collect the key data and analyze it strategically. Monthly meetings were scheduled to get the teams to report on their progress and assessments of the potential ventures. There was a comprehensive review to assure that the ventures were realistic and had potential to become major businesses. If they were not, they were aborted and new ones created and evaluated. At the end of the process, the venture teams presented their findings to senior management and decisions made as to whether to implement or abort. The venture teams has a vested interest in the ventures since if the venture was executed they became the management team. This made it a real, not an academic exercises. We have a complete process on how to create new internal ventures that has been used successfully over the past two decades.
Linking Leadership, People and Strategies These workshops focus using our unique strategic leadership approach to determine how the management team fits the strategy. There was a two day briefing session using our book Risktaker, Caretaker, Surgeon, Undertaker to educate the team on how leadership types and styles must fit the strategy. Following the session, the team was provided the tools to assess their current management team and make recommendations on changes. Periodic follow up sessions were held.
