Introduction
Business strategy has evolved in a short period. In the past, business evolutions were relatively incremental and predictable. Now, unforeseen competitors and new products and services are born seemingly overnight. Moreover, as technological innovation accelerates economic and social change, new demands are being placed on organizational leadership to stay one step ahead. And staying ahead requires thinking strategically—piecing together the intricate puzzle of business strategy.
This seven-week live-online education series provides the latest thinking in strategy to help executives build and sustain their organization’s advantage in highly competitive markets. By attending, you’ll explore why some organizations seem to become successful overnight, learn how to remain steady in the face of unforeseen uncertainty, and discover how growth can be achieved despite facing roadblocks.
