It is critical to continually assess and develop the strategic capabilities of senior and rising executives and leadership teams. Executives need the opportunity to bring their attention to external social, policy, technological and industry change, and long-term strategic thinking. Their incorporation into scenario planning will test and allow the executives to learn the mindsets and tools that will enable them to be effective top leaders in a rapidly changing, ambiguous environment.
Approaches include compact participatory workshops within broader leadership/executive development programs to introduce perspectives on external change, s methodologies, and strategic thinking, and to stimulate valuable executive conversations. We also work with your Leadership coaches to integrate in-depth real scenarios into multi-day programs that take executives on a journey of mapping their leadership skills with the changing environment and future of their industry. Finally, on developing specific long-term strategy skills, and supporting unbounded scenario thinking.
Elevate your leaders before, during and after a crisis
While many organization executives are prepared to respond from a command-and-control hierarchy to a network of teams, they must empower themselves and others to direct many aspects of the organization's crisis response. This calls for rewiring their thinking to agile leadership that empowers them to make and implement decisions autonomously. One important function of senior executives in establishing an environment for communication, decision making, and accountability that is clear and decisions makes focus and timely decisions.
Senior leaders must also make sure that they empower the right people to make crisis-response decisions across the network of teams.
