The post-recession world is set to see a widening gap among rapid-growth countries like China and India; medium-growth nations, including the United States and possibly Japan; low-growth countries in Europe; and "uncertain-growth" countries and regions like Russia and the Middle East, where growth will be highly sensitive to global commodity prices and new energy technologies. Market responses will vary depending on which category the nations belong to, which will result in an increased debt burden in some countries, widened interest rate spreads, yields on sovereign debt and exchange rate volatility.
In order to address these challenges blackswan has developed a new programme which will challenge Senior Leaders’ current thinking and equip them with a New Mindset to embrace the changing paradigms we see evolving. The purpose of New Mindsets for New Times will be to focus on the challenges of unlocking your Company’s potential to create new forms of growth, value and advantage in the future business landscape. This programme, therefore, is to outline both an agenda and process for innovation which goes well beyond product discovery and development. For these challenges to be addressed, the sessions will have as an underlying objective the need to shift “executive mindsets” in the following dimensions:- Deep insight into the evolution and impact of industry “inflection points”;
- Sense of burning opportunity, rather than burning platform;
- Capacity to shape industry evolution, rather than forecast and react to trends;
- Sense of the size of underleveraged value in the Company portfolio;
- Capacity to devise and execute “new game” strategies;
- New view of the foundations of industry leadership in dynamic markets, and its relevance to your Company;
- Sense of the locus of inertia in the your Company’s system – capacity and speed of reaction
- “Time Awareness” of the limits of your Company’s “dominant logic” – core assumptions and orthodoxies;
- Getting from “here” to “there” – managing internal governance tensions; and,
- The collective role and value added of and by top executives in moving to a new performance plane
