09.15 - How do We Link Strategic Planning with
Strategy Execution
Setting the scene
Companies need strategy as much as ever as the
recession continues and the rate of business failures
is still accelerating
•
Companies also need strategic planning, but
different to the traditional way of planning based on
long cycles, forecasting the future and top-down
analysis
•
What is needed is the capability to consistently
identify, rapidly analyse and prioritise strategic
opportunities in a changing environment

Innovation Management, Mann + Hummel

17.15 - Strategy and Sustainability
The world is going to get hotter, scarcer and more
transparent. To survive, a company needs to build
sustainability into its strategy, as an integral part of both
planning and execution. This means
• Understanding how to face the disruptive
changes and disasters that will occur in the next
decades due to climate change,
• Defining how to use scarce resources more
effectively,
• Deciding to be fully transparent,
• Operating so as to participate actively in
creating shared value for society.
Most companies probably will not make this pivot change,
and will disappear in the next few decades. We will
discuss the implications of making these changes in both
strategic planning and execution.

10.00 - Getting Stuff Done - The Impact of
Regulatory Change on the Financial Services
Sector
Since 2009 the regulatory microscope has been focussed
on the financial services industry and a plethora of
regulations have been passed with strict timelines for
adherence. This has created a significant overhead for
financial services firms who have had to comply with
these regulations in an ever more competitive sector.
The winners will be those who can adapt their culture to
provide the necessary agility to meet these challenges.
This presentation will focus on the cultural change being
seen in this sector and some of the key attributes for
being successful in meeting these challenges.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
The necessity of formulating a structured and phased
strategy execution plan will become even more relevant as
organisations require efficiency within the complex global
business environment. Programme management offices are
seen as a key method of driving strategic change from the Clevel to operations. Additionally, change management, business
transformation and PMO departments are seeking to establish
strategy execution centers of excellence.
Whether for a success post-merger integration, business
transformation or a turnaround, strategy execution may hold the
key to success. Execution of strategy is difficult due to aversion
to change in many company cultures: there must be a shared
strategy and an aligned organisation. A culture that embraces
change must be established, through effective communication
channels. Employee engagement must also be utilised. Risk
management must be adhered to. Also, performance
management and measurement is critical to ensure that change
is performed successfully and uniformly throughout the
organisation.
Attend this fourth edition must-attend event to benchmark
how other large organisations are implementing strategy
execution frameworks - both success stories and lessons
learned. Utilise this event to learn from their experiences,
compare solutions and take away concrete strategies that you
can use to drive strategic transformation in your enterprise

CEO, CFO, Directors, Managers of:
Corporate Strategy, Programme Management, Change
