My colleague, Stefano Mastrogiacomo, recently did a “Strategy Grand Tour” at Arvetica. The workshop gave a general introduction to strategic thinking for those unfamiliar with the field. It led participants through the schools of strategic thinking and gave a better understanding of the dateless strategy icons and management gurus of our time.
Enjoy the slides:
We’ve done it!!! With Arvetica we have finally launched a preliminary version of our new blog “private banking innovation“.
There are still some things in the right menu bar and some details that will change… But the blog is now online and will become home to my writing on private banking business models etc. We have also launched a series of video interviews with leading personalities in banking and beyond.
Don’t hesitate to give me feedback 
I just finished a draft presentation for a workshop on the topic “Competitive Advantage through Business Model Design and Innovation”. I’m facilitating the workshop next June with about 100 executives in Guadalajara, Mexico. The workshop is hosted by the Tecnologico de Monterrey (ITESM). Your input regarding the slides is most welcome:
At the end I’m going to add some slides on the blue ocean strategy concept by Kim & Mauborgne, as an example of value proposition design…
This week I was invited to do a presentation on social media for the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC). While preparing the slides I thought I’d throw in a little extra and added a quickly done tool (I see it as a prototype):
A Web2.0 Business Readiness Self Assessment Canvas
A company can go through the 9 topics (A-I) and rate themselves on a scale from 1 (bad) to 5 (excellent) as to some topics relevent to in the era of social media. Test it below…
I’m also adding the slide deck of the talk on social media, which I structured into 9 trends that give the basis for the self assessment canvas above.
By the way, people were so interested in the Second Life part of the presentation that I switched to an other slide deck about Second Life “en cours de route”…
