Competitive Strategy Workshop

Karel Cool created and is director of the long-standing executive workshop on Competitive Strategy. In the three-day, very intensive course, executives develop and hone their strategy skills by discussing fundamental and advanced strategy concepts, frameworks and tools for developing competitive strategies to achieve outstanding, long run success.

All cases used in the course are recent and address strategic challenges from very different industries and companies from around the globe. They have been authored or co-authored by Karel.

The workshop targets executives with profit & loss responsibility over a business, product line or region; executives who will transition into such a position; business strategy analysts and consultants who want to sharpen their competitive strategy skills; and financial and investment analysts or executives who want to complement their financial skills with a strategic understanding of markets and companies.

The workshop is offered three times per year: twice on the Fontainebleau campus and once in Singapore: Read more

The Competitive Strategy workshop has also been the basis for a very large number of company tailored strategy workshops where the strategy concepts, frameworks and tools are applied to the company’s situation. This may include group work and discussion on specific strategy challenges the executives face, action-based learning, project work, and strategy consulting. The workshop has been tailored to executives at different levels of seniority.
