RETHINK STRATEGY
Strategic Leadership of Technology and Innovation Videos

This exclusive executive education program is a collaboration of CTO Forum and Harvard Business School. The program aims at identifying, examining, and overcoming the challenges that senior technology and business executives face in fostering a culture of smart innovation, corporate renewal, and systemic growth in well-established organizations.

Smart innovation, not financial engineering, acts as the wellspring of competitive differentiation, industry leadership, and positioning for long-term success in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Incremental advances are no longer enough, and only brilliant innovation can propel an organization to the forefront of an industry.

ADDRESSING CHALLENGES, HOW TO:
  • Build indispensable organizations for long-term relevance and competitiveness
  • Differentiate ideas, frameworks and strategies to ensure sustainable innovation
  • Prevent degeneration and stagnancy once firms become successful
  • Maintain passion, imagination and deeper employee engagement for the long run
KEY LEARNING AND TAKEAWAYS:
  • Master the design rules for systemic innovation as part of strategy
  • Prevail against entrenched bias to launch a game-changing agenda
  • Transform innovation from an occasional act into predictable capability
  • Recognize and address “strategy decay” cycles to ensure relevance
  • Understand the essence of ambidextrous organizational architecture
  • Harness “cognitive surplus” in the workforce to create business value
BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION OPPORTUNITIES:
  • Implementation of innovation strategies overcoming corporate inertia
  • Enablement of principles of ambidexterity to grow current and future markets
  • Invigoration of internal corporate venture, R&D, M&A and incubation
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
  • CEOs, Presidents, COOs, and Chief Innovation & Strategy Officers
  • CTOs, VPs of Engineering, VPs of Product, and Director R&D Labs
  • CIOs, IT CTOs, VPs of Development, and VPs of IT (all areas)
