Structure of the workshop

Content
Leaders of different companies are brought together to debate the options confronted by executives of other companies facing similar situation. This is done via the famous Harvard case study method. Following each case discussion, the lessons are distilled in presentations. Lastly, participants work in small groups to apply the lessons of how to disrupt and to respond to disruption - two sides of the same coin - in their own businesses.
Intended Results
Participants will take away (1) a framework for thinking about digital disruption, (2) tools to disrupt and to defend from disruption, (3) a set of actions to take in order to prepare the business for digital transformation, and (4) an organizational gameplay or playbook for responding to digital disruption.
Participants
This workshop is designed for senior executives (C-suite) of medium and large established businesses who are involved in the digital transformation of their businesses. They are either disrupting their own businesses or need to respond to disruption by startups and tech companies. Past senior company executives include Nike, BMW, Chanel, Microsoft, BNP Paribas, Renault, Hermès, Deutsche Bank, Kraft Heinz, Unilever, Wimbledon, Avon, Pearson.
Format
The full workshop will require one full day (eight hours) of your time and your undivided attention throughout the day. You will be immersed in hours of deep-thinking activities including Harvard case discussions, presentations and hands-on activities. The half day workshop requires four hours.
