This is the first of two advanced modultes. The workshop builds on the learning from Patterns of Strategy 1-3. It can be combined with PoS5 which completes the full PoS course. The two advanced PoS workshops can be taken together or separately.

Patterns of Strategy is a systemic approach to strategy which integrates seamlessly with other core systems approaches for modelling the ecosystem of which your organisation is a part, designing transformation and understanding the capabilities of an organisation. In PoS4, we’ll continue building skill in its use by looking at how you can explore and understand your strategic environment or ecosystem, and then build a ‘radar’ to help you keep on top of continually monitoring key factors.

PoS4 will help you understand the strategic environment and foresight:

• Build a dynamic model of your ecosystem, giving you added ways to predict and shape the likely state of your strategic environment.
• Develop a strategic ‘radar’ to provide you with continuous foresight.

Trainers These courses are delivered by the developers of PoS:  Patrick Hoverstadt and Lucy Loh, authors of ‘Patterns of Strategy ’ which is the text on PoS.
