Is Your Strategy Outdated Before the Ink Dries? Let's Fix That & Can AI Help? (Exclusive Adelaide Series)
Hi everyone,
How often have you painstakingly crafted a strategic plan, only to look back months later and wonder, "What happened? Where did we go wrong?"
If you're like me, you've felt that frustration. In a world changing at an accelerating pace, especially with the rise of AI, traditional approaches often feel like they're built on shaky ground and no longer reflect the reality. Maybe the problem isn't just our execution – maybe it's the very nature of how we approach strategy in a world that refuses to sit still.
This challenge is at the heart of my upcoming book, "The Helix Blueprint," and it's something I'm passionate about tackling head-on. That's why I'm thrilled to invite you, my valued newsletter community (especially those of you in Adelaide!), to an exclusive, free three-part leadership series I'm co-presenting with Kasia Rosa through PMI Adelaide.
What if strategy wasn't just a plan, but a living, breathing entity? An approach that doesn’t just react to change but anticipates and shapes it?
That’s the core idea we'll be exploring. We'll delve into how:
Human-Centred Design can be a breath of fresh air in the stuffy room of traditional strategy, focusing first on understanding the world as it is before trying to change it. Remember Tim Brown's words: "Empathy is at the heart of design... without [it], design is a pointless task.”
AI can become our collaborator, like "a super-smart intern who never sleeps," augmenting our abilities to spot patterns and generate insights. But crucially, humans remain firmly in the driver’s seat, asking the right questions and making the creative leaps. No AI can handle design thinking or strategy on its own, but it can powerfully boost our capabilities.
We can foster a continuous dance between human ingenuity, creative problem-solving, and intelligent technology, finally bridging the gap between thinking and doing, between dreaming and achieving.
This isn't just theory; we'll explore how these ideas play out in the messy reality of business, offering practical frameworks you can use immediately.
The Series: Strategise, Execute, and Thrive in the AI Era is specifically designed for Senior Leaders, Board Directors, Executives, and CEOs in Adelaide who are ready to think differently and lead effectively in this new era.
Part 1: The Craftsmanship of Value Creation (April 30th): Focus on Design + AI to channel your organisation's energy where it matters most.
Part 2: A Recipe for Strategic Success (May 29th): Demystify strategic frameworks using Strategy + AI, learning to choose the right tools for your context.
Part 3: Merging Planning and Executing (June 26th): Master the dynamic implementation using iterative frameworks with AI.
My co-presenter, Kasia Rosa, is an advisor and practitioner in reinvigorating business models and ecosystem strategies, bringing invaluable experience in driving impactful business programs. Together, we aim to provide actionable insights based on the Helix Blueprint principles.
