Are you finding it hard to explore new ideas while still exploiting your existing products and services? Is the balancing act between the past and the future creating challenges in the present? If it is, this webinar will explain how explore and exploit can co-exist in your business to help you meet your goals.
Some organisations focus on exploiting their current products and services and strive for excellence in their execution. Or they have a focus on exploring new opportunities - creating, delivering and capturing value through an innovation culture and new business models.
Some organisations do both; explore and exploit co-exist — they compete where efficiency, control, and incremental improvement are prized and to compete in new technologies and markets where flexibility, autonomy, and experimentation might be needed. Do you do both?
Who should attend this webinar?
This webinar is aimed at business owners and leaders with responsibilities for teams who create strategies and deliver results. It’s delivered in a straightforward way that any leader and manager can access; they’ll learn to use tools and approaches that will support change at an organisational level, should they choose.
What will we cover?
- Recognising the leadership challenge – the balance between old and new
- Identifying the elements that characterise exploit and explore
- Understanding the opportunities and threats associated with each approach
- Alternative approaches for adoption of a responsive strategy
- The use of sense making tools to identify where you are and where you want to be
