Strategic Management Institute (SMI): Research agenda into The Corporation of the Future
Complimentary Webinar Series complementing the SMI’s Research Agenda into the Corporation of the Future
The SMI is conducting a series of Webinars on the topic of the Future Corporation. This follows the publication of the book carrying the same title, through surveys, webinars and podcasts on the topic. Observations from our research and contributions from others in our webinars will also be presented in short videos and more detailed audio podcasts published on the CSOsandbox Podcast Channel (www.csosandboc.buzzsprout.com). Our goal is to assist with informed future decision making for all who are interested in participating. Participation is open though participation in the surveys and the podcasts.
SMI’s analysis of this topic is grounded in the framework provided by the Third Wave Strategy concept. Born out of previous SMI research and the importance of encouraging business to move on from outdated strategy practices, Third Wave Strategy consists of four key elements of:
-
Stakeholder engagement: Communicating, motivating, and organising for high performance,
-
Cognition and change: Deep critical and dextrous strategic thinking
-
Systems and process: System based, fully integrated Strategic Management Framework
-
Formal strategy practice: Open strategy practice at the level of a profession
Webinar format: The webinar will be conducted in the following stages:
Stage 1: Introduction to the topic
Stage 2: 10 min discussion rounds consisting of:
i. Opening gambit: E.g., What are your thoughts on the concept of Third Wave Strategy
ii. Open discussion: Implications for Future Corporation
iii. Questions and answers
Stage 3: Conclusion and intro to next webinar
