Workshop: Building a Strategic Mindset

Overview

A strategy is not a plan, and a plan is not strategy. Often, organizations and leaders confuse the two. In this introductory workshop to strategy, you will understand and build a strategy for a problem statement.

As Michael Porter, one of the greatest strategy gurus has said, “the presence of a strategy in a company is defined by what the company decides not to do”. Here's your chance to dive into what goes into the formulation of a strategic mindset in an enterprise in a four-hour interactive workshop. Beginning with the GOST Model: Goals, Objectives, Strategies, and Tactics, we will take you through the five important stages that help define the strategy: Discover, Differentiate, Decide, Design, and Drive.

Learn the right approach to strategy through real-world, practical examples. If you have completed a Leading SAFe® certification, and are pursuing a SAFe® Program Consultant (SPC) or SAFe® Release Train Engineer (RTE) certification, this interactive workshop unlocks your path to becoming a complete SPC.

The Building a Strategic Mindset workshop is brought to you by Gladwell Academy in association with KnowledgeHut.
