Our participants

TSC is aimed at senior executives (CEOs, regional heads, local or international top executives, top executives of mid-size companies in high-growth economies) who are responsible for ensuring their organization’s success today and in the future.


What

The Strategy Challenge (TSC) is a program for top executives, which focuses on Strategy, Leadership and Organization.

As a top executive, how you prepare yourself today to deal with future strategy, leadership and organizational challenges is critical. Throughout The Strategy Challenge, IMD Faculty explore what it means to compete in complex, interconnected environments where traditional recipes for success are quickly becoming obsolete.

In TSC, you will:

  • Develop an interconnected view of your business and the world in which it operates to become a more effective leader
  • Gain an understanding of the core competencies you, your team and organization must possess to be successful in a world without boundaries
  • Learn how to develop and execute a winning strategy to compete effectively in tomorrow’s continually changing business environment

Pre and post program support

We will work closely with you during and after the program to ensure that the lessons learned during TSC can be applied to your company.

Prior to the program, we will ask you (and potentially your team) to start thinking about the major trends affecting the environment around you, and how you believe these will impact your business.

Throughout the program, we will provide toolkits that you can take back to your company to engage with your teams.

After the program, you will have the opportunity to remain in close contact with our Faculty, who will continue to support you as you work to challenge your teams back in the office.


How

In the program, we explore three themes to help us prepare for the challenges of the future:

Theme 1 – Understanding a world without boundaries

We start by attempting to understand the new shapes of the world in which you, your team and your organization will compete in the future. How is the world changing? How can we map the players and the roles that each will play? Who are your future competitors, customers and consumers?

Theme 2 – Defining the requirements for success

As a leader, you are usually under great pressure to leverage your core capabilities. But what if they aren’t the right ones for the future? What will it take to succeed in 5 to 10 years? What are you doing to prepare today? What new partnerships are you creating to position your fi rm in new ways?

Theme 3 – Winning in the new real world

Lastly, we will focus on critical issues that must be addressed, to ensure consistent execution. How are you aligning and engaging your entire organization today? How are you preparing your organization for uncertainty and volatility? And for continuous change to stay ahead?

As we explore these critical themes, we will challenge you at each step, enabling you to re-think what each means for your business in terms of the opportunities and challenges that you will face in the future.
