While many organizations had been adapting to VUCA environments (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous), the advent of the disruption resulting from the Covid-19 virus has virtually obliterated many strategic and sales plans. Leading edge decision models must evolve to incorporate game theory, divergent thinking, stakeholder risk assessment and alternative future scenarios.
Silicon Valley Executive Education announces a free, live, one-hour online workshop:
Employing Divergent Thinking in a Crisis
May 29, 2020, 2:00pm PDT
Participants will engage in interactive scenario planning, led by elite faculty, covering:
• divergent thinking
• strategic prioritization
• stakeholder behavior forecasting
• external factor ranking
• customer risk adoption
Due to the intensity of the workshop environment and the live interaction with faculty, participation is extremely limited. For more information, contact Robert David ([email protected], 925-202-6554)
