Course Overview
Most failures in sustainable competitive advantage trace back to a conversation someone avoided having. When the organisational leadership capability is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this strand of organisational leadership is examined, not just described. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in sustainable competitive advantage before they become incidents. It establishes a shared vocabulary for the organisational leadership capability so that teams can disagree productively about it. Progress on this area of organisational leadership is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. It is designed for mixed groups, so that sustainable competitive advantage is examined from more than one functional angle. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the wider organisational leadership agenda is rarely technical. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of organisational leadership broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
