This business strategy programme is based on a unique approach – getting the tools, breaking the rules and making a difference. These three core themes are addressed throughout the programme.
 
Getting the Tools
Firstly, you need to fully understand and appreciate the strategic tools and frameworks that are available. These tools are useful in determining whether your organisation has a strategy or not, whether it's working, and how you can contribute to its further development. Additional frameworks deal with analysing competitive situations as well as corporate diversification decisions. Once you have these tools and frameworks, you apply them to various business scenarios and reflect on how you can use them to address your own strategic challenge.

Breaking the Rules
Building on these established tools and frameworks and utilising London Business School's latest research, you'll be asked to consider how they can be adapted to address the challenges of tomorrow's business environment. You'll look at both capturing and creating value, and considering processes for breakthrough strategies, such as open-sourcing strategy, drawing analogies to unconventional contexts and promoting internal competition within a firm.

Making a Difference
Before attending the Developing Strategy for Value Creation programme we ask you to share with us a major strategic business challenge that you're facing in your company. Integral to the programme are small group sessions where you apply the knowledge you gain to create value in that particular business context.  The variety of perspectives that fellow programme participants bring to this process is immensely beneficial. By the end of the week, you'll have insights on concrete activities on which to focus and implement when you return to work

Learning Experience
Developing Strategy for Value Creation is a rich learning experience. In addition to lectures and video presentations, class discussions give you the opportunity to confer with fellow participants and faculty, allowing you the extra benefit of their experience and insight. There's time set aside for personal reflection or for interactive peer learning. An additional and fun feature is an interactive simulation package that helps apply and extend concepts from the classroom to a forward looking business situation.
