Few people have contributed as signi�cantly to the art, and especially the science, of business strategy as Robert Kaplan. His Balanced Scorecard is the premier tool for aligning a company's current actions with its strategic goals. This performance manage-ment system helps business leaders clarify their corporate vision and align people, business units, and resources with a uni�ed strategy. In his research and writing, speaking and consulting, Robert develops ways to link cost and performance management systems to strategy implementation and operational excellence. The BSC approach is also being successfully applied by govern-ments and nonpro�ts throughout the world to improve transparency, governance, and measurable social outcomes. Robert Kaplan and coauthor David Norton have written �ve landmark books on The Balanced Scorecard, describing how it works and outlining best practices for its implementation. Robert Kaplan is Baker Foundation Professor at Harvard Business School and a former Dean of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration, Carnegie-Mellon University.

Successful Strategy Selection:Formulating competitive strategies to drive dynamic business growth

Super Guru Morning Session with Prof. Richard Rumelt

Day 01 - 14 April

In this interactive and engaging session, Richard will teach you the ‘kernel’ concept – a simple logical structure that creates good executable strategy. He’ll also teach you about the perils of bad strategy – what its hallmarks look like, how to identify it, and how to ensure poor strategy is not implemented in your organisation. Following Richard’s approach will enable corporations to move away from seeing strategy as an extension of �nancial planning to a more powerful and realistic approach, and allow Governments and non-pro�t organisations to draw focus and coherence to yield dramatic improvements in effectiveness. Richard will also guide you through his ‘14 rules for good growth’ – a set of key ideas that should be followed to ensure that strategic growth creates value and effectiveness for the organisation. He’ll also discuss how corporations, Governments and non-pro�t organisations can exploit innovation and market conditions to create and maintain competitive advantage.

About Richard Richard Rumelt helps executives craft meaningful, ambitious, yet actionable strategies for facing the most important challenges and opportunities they face. He gained a worldwide reputation with his book, “Good Strategy/Bad Strategy,” and has been called “Strategy’s Strategist,” by the McKinsley Quarterly. He has been elected to Thinkers 50, a group of the 50 most in�uential business thinkers in the world. Richard is a pioneer in the �eld of business and corporate strategy and is widely recognized as having put in place many of the key foundations of the subject. He is the Harry and Elsa Kunin Professor of Business & Society at UCLA Anderson. He earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He studied decision sciences and corporate strategy at the Harvard Business School, receiving his doctorate in 1972.

Successful Strategy Selection:Formulating competitive strategies to drive dynamic business growth

Super Guru Morning Session with Prof. Richard Rumelt

Day 01 - 14 April

In this interactive and engaging session, Richard will teach you the ‘kernel’ concept – a simple logical structure that creates good executable strategy. He’ll also teach you about the perils of bad strategy – what its hallmarks look like, how to identify it, and how to ensure poor strategy is not implemented in your organisation. Following Richard’s approach will enable corporations to move away from seeing strategy as an extension of �nancial planning to a more powerful and realistic approach, and allow Governments and non-pro�t organisations to draw focus and coherence to yield dramatic improvements in effectiveness. Richard will also guide you through his ‘14 rules for good growth’ – a set of key ideas that should be followed to ensure that strategic growth creates value and effectiveness for the organisation. He’ll also discuss how corporations, Governments and non-pro�t organisations can exploit innovation and market conditions to create and maintain competitive advantage.

About Richard Richard Rumelt helps executives craft meaningful, ambitious, yet actionable strategies for facing the most important challenges and opportunities they face. He gained a worldwide reputation with his book, “Good Strategy/Bad Strategy,” and has been called “Strategy’s Strategist,” by the McKinsley Quarterly. He has been elected to Thinkers 50, a group of the 50 most in�uential business thinkers in the world. Richard is a pioneer in the �eld of business and corporate strategy and is widely recognized as having put in place many of the key foundations of the subject. He is the Harry and Elsa Kunin Professor of Business & Society at UCLA Anderson. He earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He studied decision sciences and corporate strategy at the Harvard Business School, receiving his doctorate in 1972.

Successful Strategy Selection:Formulating competitive strategies to drive dynamic business growth

Super Guru Morning Session with Prof. Richard Rumelt

Day 01 - 14 April

In this interactive and engaging session, Richard will teach you the ‘kernel’ concept – a simple logical structure that creates good executable strategy. He’ll also teach you about the perils of bad strategy – what its hallmarks look like, how to identify it, and how to ensure poor strategy is not implemented in your organisation. Following Richard’s approach will enable corporations to move away from seeing strategy as an extension of �nancial planning to a more powerful and realistic approach, and allow Governments and non-pro�t organisations to draw focus and coherence to yield dramatic improvements in effectiveness. Richard will also guide you through his ‘14 rules for good growth’ – a set of key ideas that should be followed to ensure that strategic growth creates value and effectiveness for the organisation. He’ll also discuss how corporations, Governments and non-pro�t organisations can exploit innovation and market conditions to create and maintain competitive advantage.

About Richard Richard Rumelt helps executives craft meaningful, ambitious, yet actionable strategies for facing the most important challenges and opportunities they face. He gained a worldwide reputation with his book, “Good Strategy/Bad Strategy,” and has been called “Strategy’s Strategist,” by the McKinsley Quarterly. He has been elected to Thinkers 50, a group of the 50 most in�uential business thinkers in the world. Richard is a pioneer in the �eld of business and corporate strategy and is widely recognized as having put in place many of the key foundations of the subject. He is the Harry and Elsa Kunin Professor of Business & Society at UCLA Anderson. He earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He studied decision sciences and corporate strategy at the Harvard Business School, receiving his doctorate in 1972.

Successful Strategy Selection:Formulating competitive strategies to drive dynamic business growth

Super Guru Morning Session with Prof. Richard Rumelt

Day 01 - 14 April

In this interactive and engaging session, Richard will teach you the ‘kernel’ concept – a simple logical structure that creates good executable strategy. He’ll also teach you about the perils of bad strategy – what its hallmarks look like, how to identify it, and how to ensure poor strategy is not implemented in your organisation. Following Richard’s approach will enable corporations to move away from seeing strategy as an extension of �nancial planning to a more powerful and realistic approach, and allow Governments and non-pro�t organisations to draw focus and coherence to yield dramatic improvements in effectiveness. Richard will also guide you through his ‘14 rules for good growth’ – a set of key ideas that should be followed to ensure that strategic growth creates value and effectiveness for the organisation. He’ll also discuss how corporations, Governments and non-pro�t organisations can exploit innovation and market conditions to create and maintain competitive advantage.

About Richard Richard Rumelt helps executives craft meaningful, ambitious, yet actionable strategies for facing the most important challenges and opportunities they face. He gained a worldwide reputation with his book, “Good Strategy/Bad Strategy,” and has been called “Strategy’s Strategist,” by the McKinsley Quarterly. He has been elected to Thinkers 50, a group of the 50 most in�uential business thinkers in the world. Richard is a pioneer in the �eld of business and corporate strategy and is widely recognized as having put in place many of the key foundations of the subject. He is the Harry and Elsa Kunin Professor of Business & Society at UCLA Anderson. He earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He studied decision sciences and corporate strategy at the Harvard Business School, receiving his doctorate in 1972.

Successful Strategy Selection:Formulating competitive strategies to drive dynamic business growth

Super Guru Morning Session with Prof. Richard Rumelt

Day 01 - 14 April

In this interactive and engaging session, Richard will teach you the ‘kernel’ concept – a simple logical structure that creates good executable strategy. He’ll also teach you about the perils of bad strategy – what its hallmarks look like, how to identify it, and how to ensure poor strategy is not implemented in your organisation. Following Richard’s approach will enable corporations to move away from seeing strategy as an extension of �nancial planning to a more powerful and realistic approach, and allow Governments and non-pro�t organisations to draw focus and coherence to yield dramatic improvements in effectiveness. Richard will also guide you through his ‘14 rules for good growth’ – a set of key ideas that should be followed to ensure that strategic growth creates value and effectiveness for the organisation. He’ll also discuss how corporations, Governments and non-pro�t organisations can exploit innovation and market conditions to create and maintain competitive advantage.

About Richard Richard Rumelt helps executives craft meaningful, ambitious, yet actionable strategies for facing the most important challenges and opportunities they face. He gained a worldwide reputation with his book, “Good Strategy/Bad Strategy,” and has been called “Strategy’s Strategist,” by the McKinsley Quarterly. He has been elected to Thinkers 50, a group of the 50 most in�uential business thinkers in the world. Richard is a pioneer in the �eld of business and corporate strategy and is widely recognized as having put in place many of the key foundations of the subject. He is the Harry and Elsa Kunin Professor of Business & Society at UCLA Anderson. He earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He studied decision sciences and corporate strategy at the Harvard Business School, receiving his doctorate in 1972.

Successful Strategy Selection:Formulating competitive strategies to drive dynamic business growth

Super Guru Morning Session with Prof. Richard Rumelt

Day 01 - 14 April

In this interactive and engaging session, Richard will teach you the ‘kernel’ concept – a simple logical structure that creates good executable strategy. He’ll also teach you about the perils of bad strategy – what its hallmarks look like, how to identify it, and how to ensure poor strategy is not implemented in your organisation. Following Richard’s approach will enable corporations to move away from seeing strategy as an extension of �nancial planning to a more powerful and realistic approach, and allow Governments and non-pro�t organisations to draw focus and coherence to yield dramatic improvements in effectiveness. Richard will also guide you through his ‘14 rules for good growth’ – a set of key ideas that should be followed to ensure that strategic growth creates value and effectiveness for the organisation. He’ll also discuss how corporations, Governments and non-pro�t organisations can exploit innovation and market conditions to create and maintain competitive advantage.

About Richard Richard Rumelt helps executives craft meaningful, ambitious, yet actionable strategies for facing the most important challenges and opportunities they face. He gained a worldwide reputation with his book, “Good Strategy/Bad Strategy,” and has been called “Strategy’s Strategist,” by the McKinsley Quarterly. He has been elected to Thinkers 50, a group of the 50 most in�uential business thinkers in the world. Richard is a pioneer in the �eld of business and corporate strategy and is widely recognized as having put in place many of the key foundations of the subject. He is the Harry and Elsa Kunin Professor of Business & Society at UCLA Anderson. He earned Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He studied decision sciences and corporate strategy at the Harvard Business School, receiving his doctorate in 1972.
