Using Culture for Competitive (Dis)Advantage
Why do industry leaders often lose their innovative edge, and how can they
retain it? The purpose of this session is to explore how managers can balance
the tension between the short and long term, with particular attention to the
use of culture in their organizations as a potential for
enhancing innovation.
Business Challenge
Participants submit a brief description of a specific innovation or change
challenge for their organization. Workgroups, organized by participants
facing similar issues, will meet for four sessions, to focus on understanding
the performance or opportunity gap, concentrate on root cause diagnosis, and
move toward solution generation and action planning.

 All of the concepts were effectively demonstrated in the cases and well linked to practical actions for change. This program has given me new insights and tools to understand and address what is happening to our business environment and to our company.
