What will you gain from the Seminars/Workshop?
Actionable Reality Examples
Reality: Environmental turbulence is unavoidable
Action to Take: Identify, anticipate, prepare for and lead/manage “unknown unknowns”
Reality: All models and tools have limits that work at certain times but fail at others e.g. - Strategic Planning, SWOT, MBO, Six Sigma, etc...
Action to Take: Lift your organization and skills beyond single dimensions such as: competitive advantage, core competence, and sticking to your knitting
Reality: When strategy and capabilities are not accurately adjusted to changes in the external business environment, profitability and/or growth is threatened and vulnerability increases
Action to Take: Accurately identify turbulence factors to promptly align your capability(s) and strategy(s) to the changing environment
Reality/Action to Take: that was the "tip of the iceberg", there is much more to cover
General Examples
Improve - Profitability, planning, positioning, and processes
How To - Increase, acquire, develop and better manage resources
Prevent - Barriers to Performance

Existing and New Strategic Management Material
The 8 seminars and 5-day workshop resulted from 38+ years of education, experience, and expertise (success/failure). All is summarized and entitled as the "Strategic Management Cockpit".
Learn and Apply the Strategic Management Cockpit
Copyright© 1987-2023 Tamer Tamer Salameh. All Rights Reserved.
|
The Strategic Management Cockpit resulted from integration and/or differentiation between existing and new material. Emphasis is placed on critiques, future research, and practical applicability.
Any new material is examined by team members, practitioners, and is researched in academia. Some of the material is in progress and will be presented and updated while emphasizing its practical applicability. The "Strategic Management Cockpit", contains tools, such as (listed alphabetically): - 4obo - Dispersed Portfolio Positioning 2.0 - Formidable Advantage - Preneurship - Strategic Democracy - Strategic Issues Management 2.0 - Strategic Octopus - Strategic Posture 2.0 - Roaming Rabbit - Tamer KARTS Neither financial nor any kind of advice is given. The thrust is on preparation (seminars) and practice (workshop) to customize response for engaging TURBULENCE; to show you how to strategically "look and see, perceive and understand, and decide &/or act".

Outline of Strategic Management Seminars 1 - 8
|
Thrusting to bridging the gap between theory and practice in strategic management through integration and differentiation of many originators, critiques, and practitioners (please see Figure 1).
With emphasis on answering the Fundamental Question: How to lead and manage ourselves, each other and the entity, while interacting with turbulence for effective, efficient and equitable performance (formidable advantage)? Preparation to answer this question is complemented by answering five questions, as follows: 1. Where are we now? 2. Where do we need to go? 3. How do we get there? 4. How do we lead and manage change? 5. Why not? |
