Please join us on July 19, 2022 for this special webinar with CEIBS Professor Jeffrey Sampler on Developing Strategic Agility for Turbulent Times.

About the webinar

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented economic upheaval and uncertainty around the globe, plunging companies into crisis and a battle for survival.

During this webinar, Prof. Sampler will introduce key principles of strategy that will help companies better prepare themselves for turbulent times. He will challenge conventional strategic thinking and reveal why the typical tools of strategy are no longer relevant with our needs, and why the ‘business as usual’ model doesn't work anymore. He argues that strategic change is just as important as strategic formulation and that is not a sign of weakness. Prof. Sampler will use case studies to illustrate principles of successful strategic planning to prepare you for the post-COVID-19 era. In this webinar, you will learn how companies can plan for the unpredictable future.
