2015 Nov G3 Keeping The CEO’s Executive Edge

CEOs are all faced with the challenges of satisfying our day-day customers and achieving (short-term) financial objectives to keep our stake-holders happy.  However, the world continues to evolve, change.  Bosses all know that those that do not adapt and those that do not look for the trends and respond accordingly, unfortunately, fall into irrelevancy.  C-levels intuitively know we need to look to the future to maintain our leadership positions, however, the actuality is that some keep the edge much better then others

What works for you? How do you find the balance?  Organizationally, how do you balance long-term (mid-term) planning with the day-to-day?  Do you have specific annual processes that work that can be shared with others?  Who does it?  How do you do it?  Does it work? …or is it a waste of time? With so much responsibility, no boss has mastered everything.  This month’s CEO Insights is all about insights.

What metrics do you or areas do you focus in your planning:  Financial, structure (organization), innovation, looking at competition, threats, opportunities, and much more.  At this month’s CEO Insights meeting, you will have an invaluable opportunity to see inside companies outside of yours.
