When Art Turock speaks to a group, there is often the realization that the organization needs to rethink its current strategic planning process.
As business leaders face the mammoth forces of change such as consolidation, deregulation, E-business, globalization, and disruptive technologies, one point becomes obvious linear strategies don't work in non-linear times.
Art is committed to helping progressive companies make the shift from traditional, linear strategic planning to a process thought leaders now call "strategic innovation." Strategic innovation involves designing a competitively advantageous marketplace position three to five years into the future. Sustainable advantage comes from innovations that produce enormous business opportunities either by changing the established rules of competition or focusing on the penetration of new, minimally contested markets.
Stimulating diverse thinking at the beginning of a strategic planning retreat. Most senior management teams know each other so well they can almost deliver each other's lines in discussions of key issues hardly the conditions for conceiving original strategy. The strategic innovation consultation includes innovative thinking exercises that challenge the team to look at their industry and business from vantage points they've probably never taken before. As a result, the chances are increased for revealing never-before-imagined business opportunities. The final strategic plans agreed upon days later are profoundly effected.
Retreat facilitation.
Art Turock brings the valuable outside perspective of an expert on strategic innovation plus facilitation skills for orchestrating the best quality thinking from retreat attendees. We do not use a cooker cutter approach to retreats but customize based on the desired magnitude of innovation.
