Hi What I can offer is to design your corporate strategy based on Roger Martin's model and his book "Playing to Win". This would require you to spend 2 to 4 meetings with the students to answer their questions. What you will get: Winning Aspiration : Defining a clear aspiration helps align the entire organization towards a shared goal, ensuring everyone works toward the same desired outcome. Where to Play : Identifying specific markets and segments to focus on helps the business allocate resources efficiently and avoid spreading itself too thin. How to Win : Crafting a distinct strategy for success in the chosen markets enables the business to differentiate itself from competitors. Capabilities : Building the right capabilities ensures the company has the necessary tools, skills, and systems to support and execute its strategy effectively. Management Systems : Implementing robust management systems guarantees that strategy execution is tracked, refined, and continuously aligned with the company’s goals.
