Reimagine How You Do Strategy with Hands-On Learning and Proven Frameworks:
If you are struggling with one or more of the following challenges,
this program is highly recommended for you:
The roles of strategy and innovation practitioners and the strategic outcomes they aim to achieve—such as market creation, competitive advantage, and profitable growth—are highly demanding. The complex and interconnected business challenges test executives’ strategic capabilities and expose their gaps.
Lacking the required strategic capabilities – specialized skills and expertise- renders strategy and innovation practitioners ineffective in addressing interconnected complex business challenges related to dynamic markets, uncertainty, innovation, differentiation, competition, profitability, and growth. As a result, practitioners struggle to deliver the expected strategic outcomes.
Difficulty Generating Actionable Insights:
- You’re working with a wealth of data, but no actionable insights, and your insights don’t translate into clear, actionable strategies.
- Your recommendations often lack practical application, which leaves others unsure about what to prioritize.
- Even when pros and cons are outlined, the lack of clear direction undermines your proposals and results in unfocused initiatives, leading to confusion, wasted effort, and diluted outcomes.
Lack of Confidence in Strategic Decision Making:
- You hesitate to act decisively because your analysis seems incomplete or disconnected from real-world conditions, and you have difficulty choosing optimal paths.
- Conflicting priorities and an abundance of choices lead to overwhelm, making it difficult to focus on what truly drives value and advantage.
- You find it difficult to bridge the gap between high-level goals and practical, on-the-ground execution, resulting in misaligned and underdelivered strategies.
Strategic Approach and Mindset:
- You remain within familiar industry boundaries, restricting your capacity to pursue bold, market-reshaping opportunities.
- Your strategy tends to be reactive—focused on following trends rather than creating them—leading to incremental, rather than breakthrough, moves.
- Concerns about risk lead you toward safer choices, hindering transformative initiatives that could provide long-term advantage.
Short-Term & Reactive Focus:
- You’re trapped in a cycle of reacting to competition and pursuing short-term wins, at the cost of building bold, future-focused strategies.
- Struggling to prioritize, you end up saying “yes” to too many ideas, resulting in scattered efforts and competing initiatives.
- Without a clear strategic focus, your plans become fragmented, wasting resources and weakening impact.
Innovation-Specific Challenges:
- You feel overwhelmed by the uncertainty and complexity of driving market-creating innovation.
- You can generate promising ideas and prototypes, but face challenges in scaling them into viable, long-term businesses.
- You’re unsure how to balance refining existing offerings with exploring bold, disruptive opportunities, creating tension between today’s performance and tomorrow’s potential.
Failure to Renew Strategy:
- You find it difficult to reassess the changing market dynamics and adjust your strategy, jeopardizing long-term relevance.
- Instead of exploring new markets or unmet needs, you remain confined within familiar competition, overlooking opportunities for growth.
- Struggling to keep up with innovation and changing customer preferences, your offerings slowly lose their edge and impact.

Why Strategy and Innovation Practitioners Struggle to Deliver the Strategic Outcomes?
Strategy Fragmentation:
The lack of a unifying framework fails to integrate strategic initiatives with the core business. This leads to chasing random features, responding blindly to competitors, and diluting strategic focus.
Framework Overload:
Overlapping or contradictory strategic frameworks create confusion about which to use and how to apply them. This leads to superficial and inconsistent analysis and failure to generate actionable insights.
The lack of structured processes for identifying opportunities, evaluating options, and making bold strategic moves leads to increased risk, market failure, and missing out on value-creating long-term strategies.
Lack of Exposure and Confidence:
Limited exposure to applying strategic principles, tools, frameworks, processes, and using them in the correct sequence leads to a lack of confidence in developing strategy in a dynamic and competitive environment.
Now is the right time to build your expertise in Strategy and Innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does this program differ from other strategy and Innovation courses?
Most strategy and innovation courses overwhelm you with competing frameworks that don’t connect to practical application. Our program is different in three critical ways:
First, rather than drowning you in theory, we provide a unified strategic framework that integrates Blue Ocean Strategy and Value-Based Strategy, clarifying where to compete and how to strengthen competitive advantage.
Second, instead of just lecturing, we immerse you in the world-class Blue Ocean Simulation—co-developed with the authors of Blue Ocean Strategy—where you’ll make strategic decisions in a risk-free environment and immediately see their impact. This experiential learning builds confidence that traditional programs can’t match.
Third, our accelerated 3-day format compresses months of learning without sacrificing depth. You’ll leave with practical capabilities to apply immediately, backed by three follow-up sessions to support your implementation journey.
Leaders who’ve completed our program consistently report a dramatic shift in their strategic mindset and ability to identify high-value market opportunities that competitors miss.
Why should I choose this program instead of other learning options?
Compared to self-learning: While books and online resources are readily available, they lack the guided application and feedback that accelerate learning. Our research shows that experiential learning in the simulation environment builds capabilities 4 times faster than self-study, with significantly higher retention.
Compared to traditional executive education, Premier institution programs often cost a few lakhs while offering less practical application. Our program was designed specifically for immediate implementation rather than theoretical discussion.
Compared to strategy consultants: While consultants can solve specific problems, they don’t build your internal capabilities. Our program empowers you to solve strategic challenges independently, creating a sustainable advantage rather than dependency.
Compared to on-the-job learning: Trial-and-error strategic learning in your actual business carries high costs and risks. Our simulation environment allows you to experiment boldly without real-world consequences, compressing years of experience into days.
Participants who had previously tried other development paths tell us this program finally gave them the structured methodology and confidence they needed to create breakthrough strategies. The early bird investment of ₹49,560 represents exceptional value that typically delivers returns many times over. Can you afford to delay developing these critical capabilities as markets continue to evolve?
I'm already familiar with strategic frameworks. What new capabilities will I gain?
You likely have knowledge of various frameworks, but many practitioners struggle with applying these tools effectively and in the right sequence to generate actionable insights.
In our conversations with hundreds of strategy leaders, we’ve found a consistent gap between theoretical understanding and the confidence to make bold strategic moves. This bootcamp bridges that gap through three distinct advantages:
First, you’ll gain hands-on simulation experience making strategic decisions and seeing their consequences play out in real-time. This develops the tacit knowledge—the “know-how”—that simply can’t be gained from books or lectures.
Second, you’ll master a systematic innovation process that balances opportunity maximization with risk minimization. This process has been refined through extensive research on market-creating innovations at global companies.
Third, you’ll learn to identify what truly drives your competitive advantage and how to deepen it. Rather than scattered improvements, you’ll focus on the vital few factors that unlock disproportionate value.
What tangible ROI can I expect from this program?
Immediate business impact: Participants report identifying new market opportunities worth millions in potential revenue within weeks of program completion. One participant led a strategic initiative that created an entirely new revenue stream, generating a 25 times return on their program investment within the first quarter.
Career acceleration: Many participants report significant career advancement within 12-18 months, with several receiving promotions directly tied to their enhanced strategic capabilities. Their confidence in proposing bold strategic moves and backing them up with sound analysis has made them invaluable to their organizations.
Long-term competitive advantage: Organizations that send multiple team members develop a shared strategic language and methodology, enabling more cohesive execution and faster adaptation to market shifts.
The early bird investment of ₹49,560 represents a fraction of the value you’ll create. Consider: what would be the cost to your organization—and your career—of continuing to pursue scattered strategic initiatives without a unifying framework for market-creating innovation?
How soon will I see results after completing the program?
Within days, you’ll bring a transformed strategic perspective to your organization, asking different questions and identifying new opportunities that were previously invisible. Many participants report immediate shifts in how they approach strategic discussions.
Within weeks, you’ll generate specific strategic initiatives using the frameworks and tools from the program. One participant identified an uncontested market space within their industry just two weeks after the program, leading to a new product line that now represents 20% of their revenue.
Within 3-6 months: With consistent application and support from our follow-up sessions, you’ll begin implementing structural changes to your business model, value proposition, or target markets. These initiatives typically begin showing measurable results in this timeframe.
Long-term impact: The full value of your strategic capability development becomes evident as you lead your business/organization through cycles of innovation and renewal, creating sustained competitive advantage and profitable growth. The question isn’t whether you’ll see results, but rather: How much potential value is your business/organization currently missing due to gaps in strategic capability? And what would it mean for your leadership career to be the one who unlocks that value?
I'm interested but can't commit to three consecutive days. Are there alternative formats?
The uninterrupted focus creates a learning momentum that sporadic sessions simply cannot match. The simulation experience, in particular, builds progressively across the three days, allowing you to experience the complete strategic cycle from analysis to implementation.
Consider this: How much time do you currently spend managing the consequences of strategic decisions made without a comprehensive framework? Many participants say they reclaimed weeks of productivity in the months following the program by focusing on high-impact strategic initiatives rather than scattered tactics.
That said, if the dates don’t work for your schedule, we do offer this program quarterly.Contact the business team or check the event calander to know about the upcoming programs. The early bird pricing is only available for the upcoming session, however, so there is a financial advantage to joining now. What specific scheduling concerns do you have? Perhaps we can help you make arrangements that would work for your situation.
Can I speak with facilitator/executive coach before joining?
How many participants permited per program?
Are there any prerequisites to attend?
There are no prerequisites to join. However, registered participants will receive recommended readings to enhance engagement in discussions and maximize the program’s value.
Do you offer payment plans?
Who is this program best suited for?
What is a Simulation?
