A talk by Anisa Aven
CEO, TurnKey Coaching & Development Solutions
Since the Pandemic Began - Nothing is business-as-usual now.
Strategic leaders anticipate change and strategic organizations are intentionally agile. They are ready to respond quickly to marketplace, economic, and OH… wait – pandemic factors?!?
Today, even those who were confident in their crisis management and business continuity plans, now realize we were not prepared for COVID19.
Strategic foresight at this moment is not about what’s around the corner, it’s about what’s here right now, and how can we be instantaneously innovative and resourceful. This moment requires creative strategic thinking and planning that will rally our employees beyond reasonable expectations.
That is what this moment requires for many businesses.
Topics:
• Strategic foresight: What it is. Why it matters. How to develop it.
• Strategic Management: - Pressure Cooker - Three Gates of Focus - Builder vs. Protector - 27 Challenges Every Business Faces
• Quality Decision Making
