Where does strategy fit in and why do smart firms still fail to attend to fundamentals? This session will cover strategy: separating practice from experience.
Event Details
In 2009, Jack Welch sat down for an interview with the Financial Times and created quite a stir when he was asked about Share holder value as a strategy. His response was that the question was a dumb idea.
The interview offered Welch an opportunity to share his thoughts on the future of capitalism and also his understanding of strategy. After our own conversation last month on conscious capitalism (do go check out the blog for a recap), it became clear that semantics aside, the fundamentals still rule. Some of the chaos that ensues, Welch suggests, confuses the outcome, shareholder value, and strategy.
We do hope you will join us in March 15, at our usual time and our ongoing location Sopprafina Marketcafe (another entrance on Franklin between Monroe and Adams).
