CIM Summit 2024: The Broad View in Strategy

Assumptions leaders make about their organisation’s future operating environment can quickly become outdated, risking haunting them as they seek to execute their firm’s strategy. Often these assumptions are unsettled by developments that seem to come from ‘left field’ taking leaders by surprise and challenging well-laid plans.

In turbulent times, strategy is defined by strategy is as much about ‘who’ the organisation is – its identity - as ‘what’ it does. With this theory in mind, Dr Trudi Lang, Senior Fellow in Management Practice at the University of Oxford Saïd Business School, will further discuss and prepare business leaders for any changes.

In her presentation, I will discuss how to avoid being haunted by your ghost scenario, what is involved in taking a broader view of strategy, and how in turbulent conditions.

During the CIM Summit 2024, Dr Trudi Lang, will discuss how business leaders can avoid being haunted by their ghost scenario as well as what is involved in taking a broader view of strategy, in her presentation “How to avoid being haunted and the value of taking the broad view in strategy”.

Dr. Trudi Lang is a member of the Saïd Business School strategy faculty working with executives to support them achieve their strategic objectives. Her areas of expertise include scenarios and strategic reframing, the interplay between organisational identity and strategy, and collaborative strategy. Prior to joining Oxford, Trudi was Director of Strategic Foresight at the World Economic Forum. She has also served as Consultant for Strategic Foresight at the OECD. Trudi holds a PhD (DPhil, Management Studies) and an MSc (Management Research), both from the University of Oxford.
