Overview:

Scenario-build and blueprint your business, for optimum strategic direction-setting, decision-making, and/or performance alignment.

You wouldn't dream of building your home, office, or storefront without a blueprint; would you? Now, imagine the challenge of building something that is highly complex, yet intangible; with results of every choice both real and pervasive. In construction, there are many layers of planning, but they’re no substitute for a blueprint that brings the planning and people together. We need that in business, too.

A blueprint gets everyone on the same page – literally. It’s empowering, as you rally around a visual that enables you to scenario-build. Capture the dynamics, line-of-sight, intricacies, and inner workings of strategic choices, all the while preserving the coherence and integrity of what you’re striving to build and achieve, together.

 

This course emphasizes the application of practical frameworks, based on examples and experience, to support effective strategic thinking and active influence in decision-making, shaping strategy, and business direction.
Participants will be encouraged to reflect on, engage with and apply concepts delivered through a blend of written and video content; examples and illustration; self-reflection and application or creative project activities; and, teach-back and takeaway discussion panels, quizzes, and/or self-assessments.
