Strategy creates a platform to nimbly grow every aspect of a company—revenue, talent, technology, M&A, and market relevance. The board's role in building and maintaining strategy is critical to success. Setting a strategy that adjusts to market shifts enables the creation of culture and values that withstand time and make your company unique.
Two interesting components of strategy are a well-defined view on M&A and using a healthy view on risk: Who should we buy? Who could buy us? What risks do we face in M&A and other aspects of our business?
Our goal is to have participants:
Know the vital building blocks: Where are we? Where do we want to go? How can we get there?
Understand the short and long-term benefits of an all-encompassing strategy
Build the strategic planning discipline in your board
