Managing Turbulence

Even before the global pandemic, businesses and their leaders struggled with the extraordinary challenges of technological change, rapidly evolving consumer tastes, and a reconfiguration of the global economic order. COVID-19 added further turbulence, disrupting supply chains and causing an all-out war for scarce talent. How do the best business leaders manage through these disruptions? What strategies have proven successful in unstable environments with few certainties? How do leaders continue to grow when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges?

This program welcomes executives who are tasked with setting the direction of their organization in a volatile business environment. With an equal focus on strategy and leadership, the curriculum reflects our conviction that smart strategic decision-making will bear little fruit in the absence of effective leadership, and that superb leadership skills are of little value when businesses lack strategic moves that cut through the fog of competition. Through this blended, three-module program, you will prepare to identify strategic opportunities and challenges—and then create the conditions for your organization to thrive.
