RETHINK STRATEGY
Strategic Leadership of Technology and Innovation
Harvard Business School - Boston, MA | May 12 - 15, 2015
RETHINK STRATEGY
PROGRAM FOCUS
This exclusive executive education program is a collaboration of CTO Forum and
Harvard Business School. The program aims at identifying, examining, and overcoming
the challenges that senior technology and business executives face in fostering a
culture of smart innovation, corporate renewal, and systemic growth in well-established
organizations.
Smart innovation, not financial engineering, acts as the wellspring of competitive
differentiation, industry leadership, and positioning for long-term success in an increasingly
competitive global marketplace. Incremental advances are no longer enough, and only
brilliant innovation can propel an organization to the forefront of an industry.
ADDRESSING CHALLENGES, HOW TO:
o Build indispensable organizations for long-term relevance and competitiveness?
o Differentiate ideas, frameworks and strategies to ensure sustainable innovation?
o Prevent degeneration and stagnancy once firms become successful?
o Maintain passion, imagination and deeper employee engagement for the long run?
