15 MAY Strategy in the Digital Context

Dr. Imran Zawwar, Cranfield School of Management, UK
Digitization is revolutionizing the markets and redefining the rules of competition, it is transforming the way business is being performed today. Although the long-term impact of a digital revolution promises a bright future, the process is far from being linear and several businesses are at the risk of falling behind.

This situation poses a challenge for the executives who need to carefully plan their strategic response to the digital disruption. The question is; if the competitive advantage lies in strategic planning, why do we spend so little time strategizing and all the time on technology?

This session provides an interesting debate on this question and offers tools and concepts that will help the participants to develop a strategic response which can turn digital threats into opportunities.

It will facilitate the participants to leverage digital opportunities to create competitive advantage and improve performance.

16-17 MAY Innovation Design Thinking

Dr. Imran Zawwar, Cranfield School of Management, UK
The aim of this programme Innovation Design Thinking is to provide executives with a broad-based view of innovation as a strategically important capability that requires co-ordination across all functional areas of an organisation.

As a result of attending this interactive programme participants will be able to analyse the existing innovation system operating within their own organisation and identify the system’s strengths and limitations. Based on this analysis they will be able to develop practical steps for improving the system based upon a rigorous and constructive critique of the system.

At the heart of this programme are approaches that facilitate creativity and brainstorming ideas. These incorporate principles of design thinking and promote a design thinking mind-set, which is in contrast to an analytical mind-set. The difference between the two is that the former supports intuitive reasoning, while the later follows the linear principles of traditional data driven planning and attempts to extrapolate the past in its effort to predict the future.

The programme would be delivered in a sprint style comprising of several sparring interactions with the participants in order to develop and support the respective project ideas.
