Programme Content
The Strategic Leadership Workshop focuses on strategy and organization in information technology companies.
At the outset the workshop focuses on the questions: "How IT managers identify and exploit growth opportunities?” and “What challenges arise as IT firms grow and how these can be met?" - the answers to these questions depend on the characteristics of the IT firm and of the competitive environment it faces.
In a small IT firm, an initial growth trajectory must be created, and then the IT firm adapts its strategies to the requirements of the larger-scale operation.
By contrast, a larger, more established IT firm must sustain growth through revitalizing current businesses, or possibly by expanding into new areas.
The challenge in this context is for a manager to design the organization and its managerial processes as a system that can grow successfully.
The workshop provides a framework for integrating the concepts of strategy development with the business leaders/project leaders day-to-day activities.
Among the topics that will be covered are:
Framework of Strategic thinking and management for competitive advantage
The process of growth strategy formulation at both corporate and business unit levels in IT companies
Concept of Value Innovation and its application for the development of new marketspace.
Understanding industry dynamics and formulation of competitive strategy
Changing the organizational structure and internal systems to support strategy
Designing competence management programmes
Incubating and sustaining commitment amongst professionals employed with the companies
Addressing the pay offs and pitfalls of implementing a performance management system that drives organizational cohesion and individual commitment.
