GONE are the days where you register and pay for a course but never get around to completing it, because, well ‘distractions’. “Learn as you go” and “when you can”, no longer is sufficient, and while it was a good learning experiment, we really know that we need much much more to learn something fundamental, online. 

It doesn’t mean that we take the online part ‘out’, as it gives us the unique ability to be any where at any time, but rather that we create a better experience around learning online. It isn’t just about the course, it’s about how you are learning the course, with others. Solo learning can be good and has its place, but we really need to connect at a deeper level with how we learn online. It all comes down to the type of learning experiences that we want to have - this is what we are delivering with The Strategy Academy & Strategystorming course. 

Learning online is changing, by creating more opportunities to connect with the people around the shared experience of it all, and of learning something new. We often try to pay our way into knowledge, by purchasing a course and hoping that we can pull it all together, but are often left wondering and wanting more. Stop wasting your time & money; let’s change the way to learn with online, let’s learn together. 

Over the last 20 years of “online”, most of us have gotten lazy to commit, yet overwhelmed with our ‘to-do’ lists, and wrapped up in the sense of ‘being’ busy. It’s time to re-focus on what’s really important. Reinvent how we learn new things, and be innovative & strategic in not just how we think, but also how we “do”. 

Yes, it takes commitment and timing, but hasn’t that always been the case?

As the business landscape and our working world become increasingly difficult to navigate with massive increases in volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), we must develop better strategic thinking & execution techniques to navigate uncertainty and keep work engaging, creative and fun. We must engage objectives and Key requirements to deliver what is critical to engaging and succeeding.

Strategystorming enables you to bring more creativity, collaboration and fun to your strategies, your meetings and workshops while still getting the work done!

Learning online is changing & transforming - are you changing with it? How many business learn-as-you-go courses have you purchased, but not actually 'finished'? Even one is too many, when you think about it. Why would you want to pay for something and not get the value out of it? Yes, we're all busy, but are you too busy to be wiser in how you manage your time and resources? 

We often try to pay our way into knowledge, by purchasing a course and hoping that we can quickly learn everything and pull it all together, but are often left wondering and wanting more. Have you ever actually watched a replay? It's time to stop wasting your time & money on online courses you'll never finish; let’s change the way to learn online; let’s actually create an environment and experience where we can learn together.Let's use technology to help us, not to overwhelm us. 

Over the last 20 years of “online”, most of us have gotten lazy to commit to something strategic, yet overwhelmed with our ‘to-do’ lists, and wrapped up in the sense of ‘being’ busy. We've grown to want ‘click-frenzy’ at all times. Instant gratification is great, but it is short-lived. We're always searching for 'something'. What if instead of focussing on 'something' we looked close at some-HOW? It’s time to re-focus on what’s really important, and HOW you make it happen. We need to Reinvent how we learn things, and be innovative & strategic in not just how we think, but also how we “do” & act. Yes, it takes commitment and timing, but hasn’t that always been the case? 

Come join in the revolution & expedition of learning business strategy, innovation, & reinvention with the Strategystorming action. 

Why? Because great business has always been about great strategy. Good to great companies all have one thing in common - they understand how instrumental a clear, certain and competent strategy makes them competitive. 

Now, it's your turn.​​ We’re wired strategic thinkers. We just need to learn how to apply it. Learn to include strategic thinking into your trainings, consultings and coaching. 

This is all about rethinking and reinventing how we learn business strategy. This is business strategy training that works. Learn how to craft your best strategy ever.

[What’s the Story - What’s it About?]

Strategy Expedition Ensei Mastery - Strategystorming Level 1

We're going on a strategy journey to discover & do. To find out exactly where to start with strategy, and where it will ultimately take you from good to great.

Ensei is the expedition of your business, and this is where the journey starts. We're no longer on a safari, but with troubled waters ahead, this is the best way to create the future, today.

Strategystorming is adding gameplay into how we think, create and build strategies that are robust, giving us the clarity, certainty, and competencies that we need to know along this pathway.

We're not here to create a 'plan' that sits in a PowerPoint that never gets opened, or printed and put in another stack of papers that you'll never see again. We're here to help you create a living, breathing, dynamic foundation that you can see, touch & feel. Strategystorming is the new wave of developing strategy, whether you're a business strategist, entrepreneur, strategy consultant or practitioner - it will give you the thinking, tools, and know-how to craft strategy like never before.

We focus on the journey, the expedition, the 'ensei' of it all - so you can see exactly how the pieces fit together, and how they work, and what needs to be done.

Our beliefs in what strategy is and can do is where we start, along our journey of enlightenment into the deeper world of getting and answering the 'why'. 'What' takes us along this expedition trail, and 'how' is what you'll be ready and able to do, next, as you take everything into practice & implementation.

Strategy is not a game, but we've created a series of tools that will inspire you to see your perspective and use gameplay to bring it to life.

What we're bringing to divulge, dissect & discuss in detail:

1. Going slow to go fast is the only way to move from Good to Great. Here are the beliefs that we are challenging, and where it will bring you. Where are you headed and how will you know when you get there?

2. Where to start with strategy & more importantly, where to finish. How do you prepare resources, time, people, and money to be able to take off and actually get to your destination?

3. What got us here will get us there - the science of reverse engineering what you've done and how best to combine it with refreshing thinking. We don't want to reinvent the wheel, nor learn how to ride a bicycle again - so what you know and do up to this point is something to treasure and leverage. Are you ready to ride your bicycle again?

4. Seeing, thinking & doing strategy is much easier said than done, but there's a reason for that. We'll digest how to think strategically, and what your strategic dynamics profile means to being able to solve problems and challenges strategically.

5. What does the ensei expedition do to change my perspective, and what thinking & tools will I need to bring along this growth pathway?

Are you prepared for what comes next?

It's not another online webinar where you madly listen for a sliver of insight that you won't be able to implement because you have to buy some other program.

This is not another "free" learning session where you know that you'll be sold to at the end.

Strategy is not for the upper echelons of corporate-ness. It's not a plan from on high. It's not for the faint of heart, either. It's down-to-earth thinking & doing.

This is not another pitch session, where we spend hours going through my journey, trying to be vulnerable & authentic, so that you can 'feel' my story - and not actually learning anything you can value nor use.

It's not business as usual anymore. You're here to learn, in a learning environment, to give you the strategies & tools that you will need to map out the next steps of business.

Are you prepared to take the next step?

This is a paid, live, learning event, that takes place across 2 sessions of 100 minutes. 200 minutes and you’ll have everything you need.

What are you prepared to pay if you could unlock the heart of what you do and how you do it? What is the cost of doing nothing, or struggling along the way, same as today, as the economy clamps down on those businesses that are truly not prepared?

It's a lot less than that.

There is a waiting list as it's only for those who are really looking to overcome their misbeliefs of strategy & business, and what you can do about it.

If you're interested in finding out the details, register your interest here on Linkedin and I will send you some questions to see if you're really ready.

It's not for the light-hearted spur-of-the-moment-go-here-to-go-there mentality; we are going on an expedition, afterall.

It's not a to-do list. A to-do list would never have landed men on the moon, explored the poles, or journeyed around the world and across new terrains. Hundreds of people have died attempting to navigate the summit of Everest & return. Not all expeditions of the past met with success.

We're here to change that.
