Programme Overview
The Strategic Leadership Workshop focuses on strategy and organization in information technology companies, especially on the questions: “how do IT managers identify and exploit growth opportunities?” and “what challenges arise as IT firms grow and how these can be met?” The answers depend on the characteristics of the IT firm and of the competitive environment it faces.

In a small IT firm, an initial growth trajectory must be created, and then the IT firm adapts its strategies to the requirements of the larger-scale operation. By contrast, a larger, more established IT firm must sustain growth by revitalizing current businesses, or possibly by expanding into new areas. The challenge in this context is for a manager to design the organization and its managerial processes as a system that can grow successfully.

This workshop emphasizes the key managerial issues that IT companies face in their decision to pursue opportunities and strategic decision-making, as well as implementation at the level of top management and business/ project. The workshop provides a framework for integrating the concepts of strategy development with the business leaders’/ project leaders’ day-to-day activities.

  • Framework of strategic thinking and management for competitive advantage
  • The process of growth strategy formulation at both corporate and business unit levels in IT companies
