NEW – Strategic Management Dynamics Forum
We have just launched a NEW forum for this area and encourage you to join the community conversation. I have added links on the StrategyDynamics website and the book website – forum.strategydynamics.info.
There are two streams of students taking a Strategy Dynamics course with Kim Warren starting week of Jan 14th, one based in London at London Business School and one online through Worcester Polytechnic Instrute (www.WPI.edu) and we hope this will encourage debate – the forums are not limited to students though – please do drop by – and don’t be shy!
Hope to see you there!
Managing Professional Service firms
Just had a notification of a forthcoming web-briefing on this from Harvard Business School to be led by Professor Thomas DeLong, co-author of When Professionals Have to Lead. [Amazon US link] [Amazon UK link]. Should be excellent for senior folk trying to manage one of these organizations.
Anyone who would like a light but instructive business game on just some of the strategy challenges in a professional firm could take a look at the Professional Services Microworld.
Additions and corrections
Please let us know of any topics, articles or other items that you think readers may find useful in addition to the book’s existing contents.
Also, even though the book has been very carefully proof-read, a few errors will inevitably have crept through. So please tell us if you spot any so we can tell others and make corrections in future reprints.
New materials uploaded
New materials have been uploaded today that support Strategic Management Dynamics. These can be found at www.strategydynamics.com/smdresources. This first set of materials includes an introduction to the mystrategy software and the worksheets for chapters 1-4. More materials are in progres and will be uploaded as it becomes available.
New materials to be released shortly
We are working on sets of resources that support the book and will start releasing these shortly.
The first of these will be instructions on how to work with the mystrategy models / exercises that support the book. These will be available as an online Flash audio-visual presentation and a downloadable PDF.
