Strategy under Uncertainty

22 September - 23 September

| €1450

Overview

In a world shaped by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, traditional strategy tools are no longer sufficient. This course introduces executives to the Value Lab framework, a rigorous approach to decision-making based on formulating and testing theories of value.
Participants will learn to guide search, experimentation, and investment with greater clarity, challenge industry orthodoxies, and identify hidden opportunities for value creation. Through application, peer exchange, and facilitated exercises, they will leave with a tailored and testable strategic lens for their business context.

Program Objectives

  • Understand and apply the concept of “theories of value” in strategic decision-making.
  • Learn to identify contrarian beliefs and turn them into actionable strategic hypotheses that can inform innovation and competitive positioning.
  • Develop the ability to frame and break down complex strategic problems into manageable components for clearer analysis and decision-making.
  • Design strategic experiments that reduce uncertainty, test assumptions, and uncover hidden opportunities for value creation.
  • Explore how AI can support theory-driven strategy development through stronger analysis, experimentation, and insight generation.

Who should attend

  • Senior executives and general managers shaping long-term strategy.
  • Experienced managers stepping into broader leadership and growth-focused roles.
  • Functional leaders seeking a structured approach to new value creation.
