In this seminar we will focus on competitive strategy, developing options for challengers and defenders. The session begins with an overview of strategy and key principles of competitive strategy formulation. Using the Industry Analysis approach, we then explore the dynamics of competition and its effects on competitive advantage and market structure. The final module of the seminar deals with the development of defensive strategies. We discuss the reasons why defenders fail and then develop a typology of challenger strategies.

The best companies know they must engage the entire employee. To do that, however, the company must build a high-achievement, trust-filled culture. If that's what you want, this program is for you. Rather than focus on dry theory and speculation, this program will provide the exact tools you need to create the work environment you want. You will learn simple but powerful skills that you can take back to the job and use immediately. You will learn how to build trust, inspire others, and invite their full cooperation.

Participants will examine the root causes of the overload (you own a lot more of that than you think you do!), and how to take back control, one day at a time. The tips, tools and next steps all come from years of researching how people just like you successfully managed their own workflow. But come prepared to be challenged. We will uncover and address your biggest limiting beliefs about control, time, workflow, getting everything done, and what truly matters.

In this highly interactive and practical workshop, Paul McGee will explore his main SUMO (Shut Up, Move On) principles and how they impact our ability to inspire others. His principles relate to any leader whose organisation would benefit from taking a fresh look at the following five key areas; Change, Relationships, Attitude, Motivation and Stress. Building on his background in behavioural and social psychology, Paul will give us time to reflect upon our behaviour and that of others and identify what hinders our effectiveness.
