Introduction
More
and more organisations are requiring individuals with both,
a good understanding of the business as a whole but also specialist
skills to manage the change in their business environments.
Yet, very few have realised the full potential, knowledge
and skills of their own managers and executives.
These
workshops help all types of organisations make full use of
their existing resources by concentrating on specific change
concepts and competencies required from effective internal
consultants and change agents whilst developing their practical
skills, behaviours and attitudes. Each workshop enables the
delegates to learn by exploring the real issues they face
in their organisations and filling in the gaps in their current
knowledge and skills base.
The
following are brief samples of the types courses currently
available from WhiteboardOnline.

Corporate
Strategy Workshops
Business
Strategy
What
should CEOs and other senior business executives in a large
corporation, a small business owner/manager or public sector
executive do when they need to recharge their strategic business
thinking?
They need time to think and interact with peers and experts.
This workshop takes you away from the day-to-day stress of
operational challenges, where in a relaxed and calm atmosphere,
you'll learn what is involved in the strategic processes,
how to analyse major trends and provoke great ideas. This
workshop does for business thinking what Canyon Ranch does
for executive health - provides a focused environment for
thinking about the 'big issues' facing your organisation.
Participants
will:
- Understand
what is involved in Strategic Thinking and how it can be
applied to their own organisations.
- Learn
applications to current business decision making in their
own organisation - all revolving around the most important,
relevant topics of the day
- Participate
in lively, thoughtful discussions
- Leave
this seminar with fresh insights, new ideas and knowledge
to apply to your organisational strategy.

Strategic
Marketing Planning
This introductory workshop is designed
for marketing and planning executives from industrial, consumer
and service firms who are responsible for charting long-term
strategic directions for their large or small organisations,
as well as for marketers aspiring to these positions.
You
are guided through three critical stages of strategy: (1)
laying the groundwork; (2) developing strategy; and (3) implementation
guidelines. (Gorchels)
|
Vision
without action is a daydream. Action without vision
is a nightmare.
- Japanese proverb
|
Strategic
Marketing Planning explores a leadership agenda (vision) that
is built not just on gut instinct, but also on enduring principles
of strategy that can be used across industries. But it goes
further to emphasise updating and living the vision (action)
to realise dynamic strategy implementation.
You
can’t ignore change
Companies
must change because customers change. However, change is not
a logical, linear, intellectual process. To change the behaviour
of others in your organisation, you must first begin with
yourself.
Beyond
“business as usual”
To deal with shifting markets and evolving
competitive challenges, you must learn to think differently.
The cross-industry attendance and topic scope of this course
provide a broad, thorough learning into building a market-centric
organisation
Protect
your firm’s long-term competitiveness
This course lays out the fundamental groundwork
principles for strategy development, helps you establish a
strategic vision, and suggests ways to translate new strategic
direction into concrete actions.
Topics
include:
- Prepare
for strategic leadership
- Understand
forces that influence competitive dynamics
- Focus
on key market and customer trends to identify new opportunities
- Examine
your firm and envision future directions
- Convert
vision and strategies into concrete actions

Value-Driven
Strategies: Delivering Value to Customers, Shareholders and
Employees
Delivering value is critical to organisations
of any size or shape operating in any industry, but value
to whom? Shareholders, customers and employees each derive
value from corporate relationships. But are these value linkages
mutually exclusive? Can organisations develop and implement
strategies that create meaningful value for customers, shareholders
and employees? This two-evening workshop introduces the framework
for designing strategies that maximize value to each constituency.
(Formisano)
Topics
include:
- Examine
strategies to improve the value proposition for customers,
shareholders and employees
- Develop
a strategic process, which leads to innovation and uninterrupted
performance improvement
- Gain
an understanding of the drivers of value in each arena
- Determine
how to apply new ideas and methods to your organisation.

The
Fifth Discipline brings word of "learning
organizations," organizations where people continually
expand their capacity to create the results they truly
desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking
are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free,
and where people are continually learning how to learn
together. Five disciplines are described as the
means of building learning organizations. Case studies
are provided to show how the disciplines have worked
in particular companies.
The
need for learning organizations is due to business
becoming more complex, dynamic, and globally competitive.
Excelling in a dynamic business environment requires
more understanding, knowledge, preparation, and agreement
than one person's expertise and experience provides.
David Garvin of Harvard University says that "Continuous
improvement requires a commitment to learning." Reference.
The
five disciplines are systems
thinking, personal
mastery, mental
models, shared
vision and team
learning. The first three disciplines have
particular application for the individual participant,
and the last two have group application. The author
writes of the disciplines that these might just
as well be called the leadership disciplines
as the learning disciplines. Those who excel in these
areas will be the natural leaders of learning organizations.
Systems thinking has the distinction of being the "fifth
discipline"
since it serves to make the results of the other disciplines
work together for business benefit.
The
Fifth Discipline as a book consists of five
parts - business setting that calls for change, systems
thinking, four other disciplines, case studies, and
final thoughts about future disciplines and the possible
effect of learning organizations. In an additional section
the systems thinking archetypes are explained.
