1 Day Strategy Accelerator
with Blue Ocean Strategy Australia

Australian employees have experienced a huge slump in engagement* over the past 18 months, and Australian industries are being ever more commoditised, with low barriers to entry, being highly regulated, trade exposed and/or publicly provided**.  

With supply exceeding demand in almost every industry, oligopolies accused of crowding out smaller players, while small agile disruptive new entrants with creative new solutions and business models challenge the long held assumptions of your business and industry, its time to shift your thinking!

Your business strategy and how you go about developing, validating and implementing it, has arguably never been more important than now.      

CFO Accelerator have partnered with Blue Ocean Strategy Australia to bring its members and guests a new one day counter-strategy kick-off programme - the Strategy Accelerator.

The Strategy Accelerator is designed for executive teams who are prepared to forge a new growth strategy for their business, not just by competing harder, but by competing smarter, by creating new demand in uncontested market space for their products and services.  

This accelerator programme is equally applicable to B2B and B2C businesses, for whole of business, divisional or department strategy, and products or services strategy.

Blue Ocean Strategy marries customer experience with people engagement and change management, business model evolution, and innovation.  It is the only strategic planning method listed in both of Harvard Business Review's "Ten Must Reads on Strategy" and "Ten Must Reads on Change" .

Blue Ocean Strategy is strategic planning for our times and challenges everything you thought you knew about strategy.  It is a proven method for the next generation of creative , disruptive and collaborative strategic planning, based on hackathon-style engagement of your team.  

It is a valuable new strategic planning capability required by all Directors, CEOs, CFO's, finance, sales and marketing professionals and their teams, who are seeking to up-skill and develop their strengths in strategy alignment, investigation, development, validation and implementation using world's best practice.

What People are Saying About Blue Ocean Strategy

Project Manager, 
Australian Construction Industry


"Blue Ocean Strategy really helped us gather our thoughts and explore new territory.  Without the methodology and tools I'm sure we would have missed opportunities with major distribution partners and left ourselves open to replication."

Innovation Manager, 
Fortune 500 Insurer


"Working in innovation, I was hopeful but a bit skeptical before going into the process.  But Blue Ocean Strategy definitely marries creativity, strategy and change management with product, service and process innovation.  We've now embedded it into our global  innovation programme.  The BOS Australia facilitators are world class."

Retail Manager,
Australian Energy Retailer


"We had a major disruption challenge  and we achieved more in our first 2 days using Blue Ocean Strategy, than we did in the previous 12 months of strategic planning and offsites.  It's an engaging and thoroughly enjoyable process, that forces you to rethink everything you thought you knew about where your industry, customers and business are heading."

What People are Saying About The Strategy Accelerator

Management Consultant, Interim CFO Services


"I really enjoyed the interactive nature of the session, and the pace of the content, which was full of new insights into strategy for me.


Attending the accelerator it has enabled me to see how I can apply Blue Ocean Strategy to my own practice, and also how to develop and foster  opportunities in my interim CFO roles.


I had an excellent day at your accelerator thanks!"

Emily Riddell - CFO of CMYKHub


"I had some concept of Blue Ocean Strategy prior to the day, however the workshop was particularly useful in  breaking down the overall concepts into structural ‘tools’ with solid examples and actual ways to move forward. Concepts are great, but not always practical when understanding how to implement strategy and this workshop gave definitive how to's.
 
Andrew was an incredibly engaging facilitator and I especially loved his energy despite being very seasoned in this topic. Often it felt like he was presenting for the first time purely due to his enthusiasm! However his knowledge and engagement proved his expertise.
 
A first rate experience, thank you."
