Course dynamics
The elearning is set up as a quest: the CEO of a large company greets the learner, and tells them the criteria for getting another meeting: prove you know this company and its environment well enough to warrant my time and attention.
Learners follow an interactive map throughout the company and around the world to learn the concepts and then get clues to help them secure that next meeting with the C-Level team.
They start with the finance team. As they learn to read financial statements, analyze trends and ratios for historical and competitive perspectives, they begin to ask more strategic questions to higher-level managers. If they do their work well, they get a seat at the table with the CFO.
The hunt for strategy data has a lot of different paths for a learner to take, including travel around the learning map to uncover helpful clues to the company’s strategy. Various departments open their doors and share their favorite strategy models, but it’s incumbent upon the learner to do the research and populate those models with data.
