Managing in a VUCA World: A scientific approach to strategic decision-making
9 December
| €850Overview
In an environment defined by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, traditional strategic tools are no longer enough. This course equips executives with a rigorous, scientific approach to decision-making by introducing the Value Lab framework. Participants will learn to formulate and test their own theories of value – structured hypotheses that guide search, experimentation, and investment. Inspired by advances in strategy research, this method helps leaders see beyond industry orthodoxies, navigate ambiguity with clarity, and uncover hidden opportunities for value creation. Through a combination of concept application, peer exchange, and facilitated exercises, participants will emerge with a tailored and testable strategic lens for their business context.
