Strategy
...if we are not revising our plan, we know that we risk stagnation and loss of growth opportunities.
(PRWEB) November 09, 2016
CEOs today rely on strategists to define their future business prospects, rather than trusting their gut instincts alone.
This is according to Paula Widerlite, Chief Strategy Officer at Anne Arundel Medical Center, who is among the speakers at the Chief Strategy Officer Summit, taking place in New York this December 5-6th.
Paula believes that:
“The role [of a CSO] has evolved from the CEO as a strategist, who used to get by on keeping good relationships with bond-holders, physicians, and community leaders, to the CEO relying on a strategist to advise on market shifts, latent competitors, and diversification of the portfolio of services.”
Paula also thinks that strategists are more capable of providing forecastable results, as they are aware of potential risks and ways of preventing them:
“Once our strategies are developed, we fully expect to adjust and modify at least on a quarterly basis. As a matter of fact, if we are not revising our plan, we know that we risk stagnation and loss of growth opportunities.”
Thus, it’s paramount that a CSO has specific industry skills, in order to take a company in a right direction. This necessity and how strategy leaders can get it right, is going to be a key theme at the summit, with some of the world’s greatest strategy minds discussing the subject.
Paula will be joined by companies, including Google, CNN, News Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and eBay, that will share their insights on how to execute strategy swiftly and succeed in times of uncertainty.
