Getting Things Done
May 8-10, 2006
Barcelona, Spain
Introduction
"A half-baked strategy well executed will be superior to that marvelous strategy that isn't executed very well."
Allan Gilmour
Former vice chairman
Ford Motor Co.
All too often, when a business strategy founders, the mistakes are not in the strategy but in the execution.
Historically, the importance of this most fundamental of business skills has often been overlooked by managers and CEO's in favour of newer, more esoteric strategies.
But not by us at IESE.
For us, Getting Things Done - that most deceptively simple of phrases - is one of the key issues affecting today's business world. (And we're not alone. In a recent survey by Strategy & Business magazine, it was the concept voted most likely to affect a business' long-term success).
Unsurprisingly perhaps, 'Getting Things Done' is the first course in our Short Focused Program Series.
Led by Prof. J Pfeffer, visiting professor at IESE, and world-renowned expert on management, leadership and human resources, it will help you understand and exploit the complex series of interrelationships you need to successfully implement manage and monitor your business strategies.
Participants learn how to identify sources of power and use them to build influence. How to understand and leverage an organisation's political landscape.
And how to measure, evaluate and adjust performance to cope with today's rapidly changing conditions.
Short Focused Program Series
Execution management is one of a number of trends and issues that we have identified as representing some of the Hot Topics for today's business.
They are addressed throughout 2006 in a series of short, highly focused courses; the Short Focused Program Series.
Designed for senior managers, results-oriented, and time-poor, the courses provide a multi-functional, multi-sector, topic-based approach.
We combine real-life case studies, discussion, transformational insights and radical thinking to help generate revolutionary, but practical, solutions to attendees' ongoing business problems.
Arrival is usually on a Monday evening, (allowing European participants to spend the day in the office beforehand) with departure on Friday.
The intervening three days offer a uniquely focused, concentrated learning experience. Courses are usually based at the Barcelona campus of IESE.
