The ideal participant of the program:

• Ready to rethink the very essence of your company, even if it is currently successful.
• Intuitively feels that during a recession you need to grow, and during a boom, you need to prepare for a recession.
• Seeks strategic priorities and new markets, redefines the product and the customer.
• Understands that the hierarchy should be so flat that sometimes it is impossible to understand who reports to whom, and at the same time so structured that everyone knows their role.
• Understands that to scale the business, sometimes you need to slow down, and to accelerate, you need to narrow the focus.
• Plans to exit operational routine in the long term and wants to focus on creating a strategy that will ensure the company's resilience.
• Wants to find stability in instability and order in controlled chaos, in war.
• Seeks challenges to their assumptions and beliefs.
• Is not afraid to destroy what currently brings profit for the sake of what can bring a breakthrough tomorrow.
• Can invest 6-8 hours weekly in rethinking their own business.

Opportunities the program opens:

• Ability to form development strategies, determine strategic priorities that lead to sustainable market and financial results.
• A new perspective on finding market opportunities, the ability to find unconventional solutions and hidden assets for development.
• Criteria for comprehensive diagnostics of the company's condition, identification of key challenges, and evaluation of own management decisions and hypotheses.

Company level

• Paradoxical development strategy that simultaneously makes the company more stable and more capable of radical changes.
• Identification of hidden growth points that cannot be seen through the prism of traditional strategic analysis.
• Map of organizational paradoxes - identifying opposing forces that create both constraints and opportunities for breakthroughs.
• Methodology for seeing supersystems and macro markets that allows seeing unconventional market opportunities.
• Future management system in three time horizons simultaneously: today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

Leadership level

• Criteria for finding non-linear solutions when linear approaches have exhausted themselves, testing and evaluating your management approaches and hypotheses in an expert environment.
• The art of creating an environment where wrong decisions do not become fatal for the company.
• Ability to manage changes not from a position of fear and control, but by creating a space where the team stops needing your constant instructions.
• Development of strategic intuition that allows seeing opportunities earlier than competitors.
• Balance between short-term wins and long-term company resilience.

Management paradoxes we will solve together

• Definition paradox - why the most successful companies do not know what business they are really in and how to determine it.
• Planning inversion - a method of abandoning traditional strategic planning in favor of idea development and adaptive experiments.
• Practicum: abandoning your own successful products - methodology for identifying outdated parts of the business.
• Applied method of radical optionality - how to create conditional plans that adapt to different future contexts.
• Leader's paradox - why the task of a manager in turbulent times is not to give answers, but to create an environment where people stop needing them.
• Management antidotes - how to neutralize typical organizational traps in beliefs.
• Future ecosystem - building a company that simultaneously exists in three time horizons.

Participation in the program involves practical work on the development strategy of your company - both during homework and in the classroom. We encourage participants to join the program in mini-teams - the founder and key persons, as having a common logic makes it easier to implement.
