Featuring Jeroen De Flander
Business growth and geographical expansion are dominating executive agendas for most businesses in the Middle East. However, with a volatile business climate and increasing competition from cross-border companies, managers are looking at strategy techniques to help them take advantage of new opportunities as well as build strategic competitive advantage in their organisations. More and more, strategy executives are required to build organisational agility into their strategy frameworks to ensure they are prepared to respond timely to any changes in their environment.
Similarly, governments in the GGC are increasingly pushing for improved organisational performance measurement and management in public sector organisations. The side-effects of these challenges include managing talent and performance, embedding strategy in organisation culture, engaging with middle management, leading change and mitigating risks.
Running for over a decade, the Strategy Leaders Forum brings the world’s elite thinkers in the fields of strategy and innovation to the Middle East’s business community. 2015 is no exception with a mix of high-profile thought leaders as well as regional CEOs and strategy practitioners. The Forum facilitates dialogue to address the region’s strategy formulation and execution challenges. Join the conversation and be at the top of your game.

09.30 GURU MORNING: The End of Competitive Advantage and the New Strategy Playbook
For years, the ultimate goal of strategy was presumed to be a ‘sustainable’ competitive advantage. Strategy when advantages are not sustainable, however, can be just as powerful. It does require completely different approaches to budgeting, resources, and talent management, as
well as an increased emphasis on creating a pipeline of innovations. This talk describes some of the counter-intuitive aspects of dynamic strategies, for example that it may make sense to sub-optimize some processes in the interests of preserving flexibility.

Discovery Driven Planning is a planning and learning process that helps executives systematically convert assumptions to knowledge so that they can access significant opportunities while containing risk. The core premise of the method is that when there isn’t enough information to develop a conventional business plan, the thrust of planning must instead be on learning, while at the same time reducing cost and risk.
