About
Traditional strategic planning is no longer fit for purpose. Built for stable environments, it fails to meet the demands of today’s fast-moving, unpredictable markets. This Mini MBA equips professionals to lead with clarity under uncertainty. It introduces Third Wave Strategy—a dynamic, adaptive model grounded in stakeholder alignment, systems thinking and cognitive depth. Participants learn to frame strategy through real-world decision modes—blink, dexterous, satisficing and muddling through—and to manage decisions across three levels: external uncertainty, competitive dynamics and internal alignment. Strategic tools such as scenario analysis, value chain diagnosis and renewable competitive advantage are applied to real challenges. This program is not about writing better plans—it is about making better decisions. It professionalises strategy as a discipline and equips leaders to act decisively, think systemically and drive renewal in volatile contexts. For professionals shaping the future, this is an essential next step. Context: In the mid-1960s, punch cards were used to input code and the first computers (mainframes) took up a full floor of some office buildings. Corporate Strategy in the form of a recognised (social) science, was first recognised in 1965 following the publication of the book carrying the same name. It can be attributed to author and academic, Igor Ansoff. So, now it seems, while the technical science of business machines has experienced revolutionary, exponential change, the social science of Corporate Strategy has stood still. Of course, numerous independent tools and techniques have been evolved however none are linked and none have really replaced the legendary 'strategic plan'. Until now. Undertake this course to find out why, and what the alternative "Third Wave Strategy" is all about. You wont regret it.
