Description
Introduction
Corporate leaders are worried, as businesses face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The digitization of industries has disrupted traditional profit avenues and has made it increasingly difficult for businesses to grow.
Surveys have demonstrated the scale of the problem:
- 80% of CEOs believe their business models are not economically viable as their sector digitalises
- 94% of CEOs are unhappy with innovation efforts
- 85% of digital investment has generated zero or negative ‘Economic Value Added’
- 90% of corporate start-ups have failed
- While we have to stabilise things right now, we also need to plan for the future and renew how we think about strategy, innovation and where best to invest.
Every company has the potential to grow like Amazon, Apple and Alibaba. They (simply) need to:
- Invest in digital business models and platform strategies
- Re-structure their operations
- Innovate and execute in new ways
This easy-to-consume online video course shows you how. It is based on an in-depth analysis of the relationship between business models and financial performance; world-class case studies; best-practice methods; and frameworks.
