The Center runs four half-day Members Meetings each year. In these we discuss the Center’s major projects to develop ground- breaking new strategy tools and techniques. We also work on shorter projects covering topics of particular interest to Chief Strategy Officers, such as the Role of the Strategy Function, and occasionally invite guest speakers with special strategy expertise.

 

Members are entitled to a day per year of Directors time.  This could range from “sparring partner” discussion of their strategy department agenda through to a presentation on any recently completed projects to your top executive team.

Membership package includes two spaces on each of our strategy team seminars.

The strategy function is often populated by individuals from different backgrounds with varying experience of strategy, who often spend a limited amount of time in the strategy function.  To help you build them into an effective team, we offer a series of one-day seminars over a two-year cycle which  cover the most important business and corporate-level strategy topics. They currently include:

• Strategic planning

• Strategic decision-making

• Strategy execution

• International strategy

• Strategy and uncertainty

• Growth initiatives

• Mergers and acquisitions

• Corporate level strategy

• Organization design

• Innovation and Growth

• Value management

Participants receive a list of pre-readings which provide an introduction to leading thinking on each topic. During the seminars, the ideas covered in the pre-readings are explained and exercises or case studies are used to demonstrate the ideas and techniques. We also ensure that participants have an opportunity to share their company’s experiences, under the Chatham House Rules*.

 

Additional participants may attend if space allows.

 

BOOTCAMPS

We also offer two concentrated Bootcamps designed for your strategy team, one on strategy and another on corporate innovation.  They run over 3-5 days and cover the essentials of each topic

​

The Corporate Innovation Bootcamp covers preparing for innovation, learning from entrepreneurs, and accelerating and executing on the innovation pipeline. 

​

The Strategy Bootcamp covers value creation and competitive advantage, strategy tools, strategy and finance, and strategy formulation in high uncertainty.

​

The Bootcamps are advertised on the open market and there is an extra charge for them, but Members benefit from a special discount.
