Chapter Meeting - November 2018: Aligning Work with Strategy

Non-Members $25, Members $10, Volunteers $0.   No refunds will be provided for cancellations. 

Abstract:

Aligning Work With Strategy sensitizes participants to the mindset necessary to think and act strategically as they lead and execute work in their organizations. Attendees focus on the mutually supportive skills of translating the larger organizational strategy to their own work and architecting their own strategies for executing this work. Additionally, participants learn the importance of having a strategic frame of reference that maintains alignment of strategy with the critical domains of work and people to enable effective execution.

This presentation gives an overview of the online course Aligning Work With Strategy provided at Duke Corporate Education that introduces multiple viewpoints on strategy and illustrates how today’s complex environment requires a more adaptable, responsive, and fluid concept of strategy. The course reinforces the need for a more tightly coupled feedback loop between strategy and execution. Course participants also learn various ways to maintain alignment between their own local level strategies and the larger overarching organizational strategy that they are ultimately responsible for implementing.
