Strategy Stress Test

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate

"The “stress test” has become an invaluable tool for regulators to test the sufficiency and adequacy of a financial institution in light of possible future events. Strategy formulation, designed to redefine business models, identify new growth pathways, and evaluate choices the firm must make to compete and win, requires a similar kind of stress test to determine a strategy’s robustness. Using the stress test methodology, based on key principles of scenario planning and corporate strategy, participants will analyze new business models developed by companies like HUGE Inc., Walmart, Tesla, etc. to assess their underlying business assumptions and provide recommended strategies to help them defend and expand their leading positions. Learning objectives include: strategy analysis and formulation, business model evaluation, scenario planning, assumption testing and prioritization, and strategy recommendations development and deliverable creation."
