The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented economic upheaval and uncertainty. Companies the world over have lurched into crisis and a battle for survival. In this short lecture, Professor Jeff Sampler will introduce key principles of strategy that will help companies prepare themselves better for turbulent times.
Professor Sampler challenges conventional strategic thinking and reveals why the typical tools of strategy are so badly out of sync with our needs, where 'business as usual' is no longer a relevant approach. He argues that strategic change is just as important as strategic formulation and that strategic change is not a sign of weakness. He uses case studies to illustrate principles of successful strategic planning to prepare you for a post-Covid environment. You will learn how to be prepared and proactive, rather than reactive, even when the future is uncertain.
