The first step is to determine which type of program is best for your current needs.  The options are:

 

The Board Briefing

Global Leadership Series executives will confer with you and your top leaders to identify the countries and sectors of greatest importance to you. Then, our experts will prepare a 60 minute live brief that covers those areas and offers fresh, unique, proprietary and customized insights.  Immediately thereafter, the program will become a roundtable that will allow each member of the board or executive committee to probe the areas of greatest concern to them and arrive at the practical answers that can best be turned into business strategies.

 

The Leadership Forum

After the consultation period in which the topic is determined, a half-day program is developed for your top leaders that include separate briefs from The Global Leadership Series looking at regional, sectoral, economic and security concerns.  Each session includes an active roundtable with your larger group in which critical action items are identified.

 

The Scenario Exercise

Whether dealing with a smaller board exercise or with your organization’s global leadership , these exercises allow the members of your group to game out alternative futures pertaining to the key strategic concerns that you and your team have identified.  Excellent for exploring the potential impact of global market volatility, political instability, security flare-ups or even testing your readiness for everything from possible terrorist attacks to potential break-through technological or demographic developments that could transform your industries, these exercises are unique, exciting, and invaluable.  The Global Leadership Series employs a special proprietary approach in which key questions and key drivers of each scenario are identified in advance.  As the group explores potential best-case and worst-case developments, questions are raised via the use of computerized polling technologies and other scenario-building techniques.  At the conclusion, the efforts typically identify not only a “most-likely case” but also highlight the “red flags” that let you know which alternative future is unfolding and the “trip wires” that should trigger immediate action from your group.
