Dynamics of Strategy Train the Trainer

Post by Roderick Brown »

Members of the SD community are invited to participate in the next
"train the trainer" event for the Dynamics of Strategy Programme to be
held at London Business School, 15th to 17th December 1999. This
programme, led by Kim Warren, provides teachers of management, whether
in corporate or educational institutions, with the concepts and tools to
communicate the Dynamics of Strategy (DynoS) perspective. It covers not
only the outline, approach and process issues involved in putting on
full term or semester courses, but also discusses how the frameworks and
materials can be selected and adapted to serve other needs. These
include contributions to wider courses in Strategy and other subjects,
company-specific events, and workshops focused on audiences from certain
functional or industry sector backgrounds.

The programme discusses use of specially designed case studies and
Microworlds. These exercises explore how competitive advantage builds
and declines, how businesses can build on the artful accumulation of
resources and capabilities, how power and politics of strategic
management are manifest in resource-allocation and goal-setting, how the
warfare of competitive rivalry plays out over time, and how the
evolution of entire industries can be understood by aggregating firm
dynamics.

The DynoS framwork draws heavily on the principles of System Dynamics
but incorporates established theories of strategy and provides a
comprehensive "Dynamic Resource System View" of organisational strategy.

The charge for the course is a nominal GBP 800 and it will be held at
London Business School, Sussex Place, Regents Park, London, England.
Please register your interest (or contact for more information) by

More background on the DynoS approach can be found in Warren K, The
Dynamics of Strategy, Business Strategy Review, Autumn 1999, Vol 10, No
3, pp.1-16.
