Two New Executive Seminars to Improve Your Strategic Planning & Execution

Blue Ocean Strategy: Finding Strategic Service Innovations

October 29, Tampa

Programs Benefits:

Ø Evaluate process capability relative to current strategic goals

Ø Use the Blue Ocean tools to evaluate competitive positioning and identify non-traditional markets

Ø Use process analysis and value Innovation to discover new, achievable strategic opportunities

Traditional strategies built around market share rarely lead to dramatic and enduring success. In most industries –probably yours–
hard fought gains fade as competitors copy innovations and counterattack with new offers of their own. Such is the way of business.

However, there is a way out of this red ocean of competition.

Using cutting edge concepts to drive value innovation and demand creation, your company can chart a course to a "blue ocean" where
the competition does not yet exist and your company's distinctive process capabilities deliver value to the customer that would-be
competitors cannot easily copy. Learn how to:

* Evaluate your products and services using the red ocean–blue ocean–blue sky (ROBOBS) perspective

· Create a Strategy Canvas to assess your strategic position

* Leverage unique process capability to deliver Value Innovation
* Target non-customers you can attract
* Convert new ideas into actionable strategic plans

Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne demonstrates a mindset and methodology to "make the competition irrelevant."
This practical workshop marries the Blue Ocean approach with strategic and process analysis tools you can use to craft breakthrough
strategies for your company. Act now! Enroll a team of key leaders today.

Executing Strategy with the Balanced Scorecard

November 19, Tampa

Programs Benefits:

Ø Exploit the Balanced Scorecard to assure execution of strategic initiatives

Ø Link, align and prioritize initiatives to best support your primary goals and mission/vision

Ø Learn a roadmap for developing and deploying an effective Balanced Scorecard

In a recent Leadership Development Institute survey, "Executing Strategy" was identified as the top frustration of senior managers.
Most firms are adept at developing solid strategic plans; many have difficulty translating good ideas into meaningful business
results.

Enter the Balanced Scorecard.

Developed as a means to give managers a more well-rounded view of their company's performance, the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) has
evolved into a means to align, monitor, adjust and assure that strategic plans are executed…and strategic goals are achieved. Learn
how to:

* Use a Strategy Map to link operational and strategic objectives

* Select lag and lead measures that make sense for your business

* Measure and monitor the impact of strategic projects

* Adapt strategic goals and initiatives to changes in the environment that occur throughout the year

Combined with Blue Ocean techniques, the BSC provides you with the 1-2 punch you need to chart a new strategic course for your
organization and successfully navigate the implementation of strategy, even as business conditions change.
