This is the first of two core modules of PoS that build on the learning from Patterns of Strategy foundation (PoS1).Patterns of Strategy is a systemic approach to strategy that reveals and utilises the hidden drivers of emergent strategy. In PoS2, we continue building skill in its use by exploring strategy in different relationships and from different perspectives. You might be interested in X, but so might be your competitor or a regulator, and the success of your strategy will depend on understanding all of these. We’ll also explain how to handle the practicalities of moving from strategy development to planning and execution. And there will be opportunity to apply your learning to a case and to your own strategic situation.ObjectivesBy the end of this workshop, participants will<ul><li>Understand different ways to assess your fit with your environment: is it “to your advantage?”&nbsp;</li><li>Understand how to develop strategy options:<ul><li>What you want to do.</li><li>What others might do, in response to you or proactively.</li><li>What you might do in response to them (ripostes).</li></ul></li></ul>This course is delivered by Patrick Hoverstadt, (<a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-hoverstadt-3666b4/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-hoverstadt-3666b4/</a>) co-author of ‘Patterns of Strategy’, which is the seminal text on the Patterns of Strategy approach.This material is Copyright and should not be used without discussions with the trainer.
