CROSSING THE CHASM: FROM OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT TO STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP

 
Today's market landscape presents both promise and peril for leaders in established organizations. Socioeconomic trends, accelerating technologies, and profound shifts in purchase and consumption patterns are radically reshaping existing markets and creating new ones. Threats to a company's core business have become commonplace as barriers to entry fall and competitive arenas become saturated with fast followers and brazen imitators. Organizations are waking up to these new market realities and find themselves in short supply of dynamic strategic leaders. They have legions of internally-focused "efficiency managers" to keep the organizational engine humming, but few leaders with the strategic capacity to capture emerging growth opportunities and guide the organization into the future. This seminar provides a practical framework for thinking and leading strategically in the new market landscape. Through expert content, carefully curated case examples, captivating leadership portraits, insightful strategic dialogue, and impactful development tools, Dr. Kuhn will lead participants through an engaging exploration of the fundamental shifts in mindset, language, and lens needed to break the shackles of short-termism and incrementalism and cross the chasm from operational management to strategic leadership.
