Strategies for Growth and Business Model Innovation
Overview
The “Strategies for Growth and Business Model Innovation” Program provides a strategic roadmap for entrepreneurs and managers navigating the complex terrain of business expansion. The Program begins by acknowledging the pivotal decision entrepreneurs/ leadership face: whether to foster growth in fiercely competitive, stagnant markets or seize the burgeoning opportunities in high-growth markets. Recognizing the divergent challenges inherent in each scenario, participants will embark on a comprehensive exploration of four distinct growth contexts, understanding the unique managerial challenges posed by each.
The initial sessions introduce the foundational growth framework to participants, laying the groundwork for subsequent in-depth analyses. The Program then delves into the role of innovation as a catalyst for growth in mature markets, emphasizing adaptability in competitive landscapes. Building on this, participants explore the transformative potential of business model innovations, as key drivers for unlocking growth.
A critical component of the Program is the exploration of strategies to fully exploit growth opportunities within a market. Through a strategic lens, participants will understand the decisions and actions necessary to capitalize on available growth potential. The concluding half-day session encapsulates the learnings through real-world examples, examining companies navigating diverse growth scenarios.
