Great alliance strategies hold tremendous promise for companies seeking to expand their product offerings, market reach, and geographic boundaries. However, poor tactical execution can sink even the most creative strategies, at significant cost to your alliance efforts.
Strategyexecution is as important as strategy development -- but is too often disconnected or given short shrift. Therefore, ASAP-SV has put together this high power panel to give focus to the important and too often neglected topic. Attendees will gain insight into:
- Practical approaches to strategy execution that leverage the whole organization
- Identification of potential places where strategies fail
- Discussion of alternatives and methods that can be key to doing the right things ‘right’
- What you might do to improve strategy execution – to make it more straightforward and less frustrating
