SPX Webinar Series: Webinar #13

"Did Our Strategy Work? Why We Give Wrong Answers to the Right Question"

Date/Time:  Wednesday, September 21, 2011 @ 11:30am Central Daylight Time (CDT)
Duration:     1 hour
Presenter:   Mark Chussil

Synopsis:

Carol Bartz was hired as CEO almost three years ago to turn around Yahoo. The Board of Directors fired her, by telephone, a few days ago because Yahoo has not turned around. In other words, her strategy failed. Or did it?
 
We strategists unconsciously,  unintentionally, systematically, and repeatedly make mistakes when we ask ourselves whether our strategies worked. The implications are serious, both for our careers and for the performance of our businesses.
 
This webinar will be controversial and thought-provoking. It may make you laugh, cry, fume, or think, but it will not make you feel bored.

Learning Objectives:

  • How we sincerely, carefully, and diligently misjudge the results of strategies.
  • Why the issue isn’t about good strategies executed badly or bad strategies executed well.
  • How to use a simple conceptual framework to better predict and assess your strategy’s performance.
