Strategy... and Other Corporate Drivel.

Simple tools for making difficult directional decisions.

 

Please contact us to find out about future workshops, or to schedule one at your company.

 

“Dov, I attended your seminar Strategy… and Other Corporate Drivel because I believed that the company I recently joined lacks a strategy or any clear direction.  What I didn’t know, though, was how to broach the subject with my colleagues nor what we should be doing about it.

 “At the seminar you provided me with tools that I can use to both help others see more clearly what is missing and then help guide us to correct our course.

 “Thank you very much.”

"You know, Dov, speaking with you is like mental chiropractory.  You kind of walk out in alignment..."

-- Dave Greenfield, Editor of Network Computing Magazine

"I believe that what we did with Dov on those two days was probably the most important and valuable step we took at Datamercial all year."

-- Ari Ginsberg, President, Datamercial Inc.

"I would like to thank you for our conversation. Your methodology of "gentle probing" with the right questions enabled me to focus on the REAL problems and issues, and quickly moved the spotlight from the symptoms to the root cause.... 

-- Tim Cranko, General Manager at Novartis, Israel     

Few decisions are more important than those that affect the essence and direction of your business.  Yet, few companies make these decisions in a rigorous, systematic way.  Too much weight is given to opinions based on who argued for them, who is the loudest and a tendency to lean towards "what has always worked for us."

 

Funny enough (OK, it really isn't funny) almost every time I ask two people from the same company to tell me what strategy means to them I get different, conflicting answers!  Yet they sit around the conference table debating what their strategy should be - without a single common frame of reference!

 

This is especially critical in the smaller organization where you just don’t have the piles of cash to compensate for people doing their own thing, going in circles, working at half or less of their potential effectiveness and just doing their job instead of helping to make your organization great.

 

In “Strategy… and Other Corporate Drivel” you will learn:

  • How to focus your executive team for productive strategic debate.

  • Why SWOT doesn't work and creates confusion, not clarity.

  • How to generate alternative strategic visions and why this is a step you don’t ever want to skip.

  • The four fundamental strategic decisions and how to go about making them.

  • A simple approach to strategy and strategic planning that gets the job done and enables all your people to speak the same simple language.

  • more if there's time...

Register early and you’ll benefit from an exploratory conversation with Dov.  Dov will call you to find out what has prompted your interest in this subject to ensure he focuses on the points most relevant to you.

 

While Dov will share some theory, the primary focus will be on learning to use a few simple, yet powerful tools to help you make better, wiser strategic decisions.

"...אחד הדברים שאני התרשמתי לטובה היא הבהירות של השלבים ושל התוצאה שאליה הגענו ביחד , אני מאמין שהתהליך נתן לנו כהנהלה יכולת ראיה והבנה טובה יותר של היעדים שלנו והיכולת שלנו להשיג את היעדים הללו ע"י התמקדות בתחומים החשובים לחברה , היכולת שלנו להכיר כי החברה צריכה להתמקד בתחום אחד של מוצרים ולא להתפרס למספר תחומים תעזור להנהלה לבצע החלטות נכונות יותר ולחלק את המשאבים טוב יותר..."
