Details of the Presentation and Dialog Session
''Great leaders know that how they fight a war often decides whether they will win the peace. Yet as CEOs continue to combat the myriad challenges thrown up by the Great Recession of 2007, they are increasingly unsure about what strategic approaches to deploy. ...But CEOs, like generals in the heat of battle, are so busy tackling short-term priorities that the future is obscured by the fog of war.'' (Opening paragraph of Gulati, et.al., “Roaring out of Recession,” Harvard Business Review, March 2010.)
Join Ranjay Gulati to discover how to lift the fog of corporate war and position your firm and your clients to roar out of this recession. Given the current economic issues facing Europe and their impact on the global markets, Professor Gulati's comments will be of even greater interest. Gulati will show not only how resilient organizations cut through internal barriers that impede action, but build bridges between warring divisions,and transform former competitors into collaborators. He has captured these and other insights in his new book, (Re)(Organize) for Resilience (published January, 2010).
Based on more than a decade of research in a variety of industries and filled with examples from such companies as Cisco Systems, La Farge, Starbucks, Best Buy, and Jones Lang LaSalle, Gulati explores the five levers of resilience:
Coordination: Connect, eradicate, or restructure
silos to enable swift
responses.
Cooperation: Foster a culture that
aligns all employees around the shared
goals of customer solutions.
Clout:
Redistribute power to bridge builders and customer champions.
Capability:
Develop employees skills at tackling changing customer needs.
Connection:
Blend partners' offerings with yours to provide unique customer
solutions.
Professor Gulati has been cited as authoritative and practical. His presentation will help you walk the walk, not just talk the talk, of customer-centricity, jump-starting a virtuous cycle of profits, growth, and competitive advantage.
