What's Our Strategy ?

By Yannick Bollati and Fabienne Vloeberghen

Strategy is a buzz word we hear all the time.

What's our strategy? This project is strategic. Our strategy is growth. Etc.

What is truly a business strategy? Is Strategy a power point presentation which is discussed once a year at the executive retreat?

Michael Porter has a good definition, "Strategy is about making choices, trade-offs; it's about deliberately choosing to be different". Yannick personal definition is, "strategy is about turning a dream into a story and a story into a plan". So we can already conclude that many things we call strategies are not strategies.

  • How could we create a valid strategy?
  • How do you make sure this strategy is not only a theoretical exercise.
  • How do you translate a strategy into an action plan?

In this experimental workshop, we will use practical tools to make a strategy. We will be the executive's team of the Imagination Club in charge of creating a strategy for the organisation and turning this strategy into an actionable strategic plan.
