An Intensive five-day Program to Learn and Practice a Unique start-to Finish Strategy Methodology

January 29 through February 2, 2018.
In partnership with Venturist, Inc.
Limited Seating Available

We are living in the VUCA world of business:

• Volatile
• Uncertain
• Complex
• Ambiguous

Today’s leaders and organizations need to: anticipate and react to the speed of change, have a clear focus and direction, navigate through complexity and be ready for change. Having a sound strategy is an organization’s roadmap to success!

The Prometheus Strategic Planning Academy provides hands-on Prometheus Process learning opportunities with leaders and managers from many different business disciplines. Since its founding in 1995, it has helped hundreds of companies and organizations around the world improve their business results.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

CEOs, executive and senior vice presidents, executive directors, directors, senior managers, division managers, business owners, managing partners and practice group leaders of law firms, and other managers with strategic leadership, planning roles and requirements.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO ATTENDING:

Those who attend the Academy will find the concepts and methodologies of the Prometheus Process to be invaluable in helping the graduate create the strategic alignment needed for enterprise growth, start-up, new product, or project success in any scale organization. Many hundreds have attended the Academy and virtually all expressed their deep satisfaction with the experience. The majority reported using what they learned to good effect in their organizations.

The Prometheus Academy is an excellent investment of time and money which is certain to pay dividends in both the short and the long term—for the people attending and for their present and future organizations.

There are many factors behind success in competitive environments but none is so important as strategy; if the strategy is wrong, the best people and the best equipment in the world are unlikely to produce success.

ACADEMY PROGRAM OUTLINE:

Strategic success requires a strategic methodology. John Warden developed and teaches the Prometheus Process--a high energy, high probability of success methodology to create and execute winning strategies. The Prometheus Academy provides an opportunity to learn this process hands-on with leaders and managers from across the country and many different business disciplines.

The program consists of presentation and discussions on each part of the Prometheus Strategy Process followed by small group sessions mentored by John Warden that provide the opportunity to apply the lessons just learned in a realistic case study. By the end of the week, participants have a working understanding of theory and practice alike and have benefited extensively from the experiences of fellow participants.

PROMETHEUS SUCCESS STORIES

The WBM industrial segment’s business results

How a Weyerhaeuser unit executed a winning strategy using Desert Storm’s fast-cycle, strategic action approach

Given the previous execution shortfalls, the Industrial Segment was clearly pleased with the business results that Ed Jones reported 12 months later:

• Sales up 10 percent (highest-ever rate of sales growth in a market that grew less than 3 percent).
• Net profits up 58 percent.
• Return on assets up 60 percent.
• Headcount reduced 10 percent.
• Total business investment held constant, despite growth.
• Share of key market segments increased.

Additionally, the WBM’s Industrial Segment experienced other less measurable but significant results. For the first time it had a coordinated strategy: there was a high level of understanding of, and commitment to, strategic priorities and their execution. All levels of the organization were aligned and collaborating. “Not only did WBM benefit from this process; so did its key leaders,” says Jones. “There were many insights into good practices for formulating and executing business strategies.”

“The Prometheus Process is extraordinarily powerful in terms of its ability to distill the complex to the point of manageability ... ....out-of-the-box thinking, as our team was challenged to think beyond our daily jobs, beyond the scope of City government, to a City-wide future picture and our roles in bringing it about. The collective result for the City of Garland has been almost revolutionary.”
Randall K. Welch, Managing Director, Management Information Services, City of Garland

Thank you also for using Road Ragz as the class test on Friday. It made a great contribution to my confidence to succeed.

Teresa Petrini, VP Proposal Development Center, BAE Systems

From the winner of the Malcolm Baldrige Award in the Manufacturing Category
“[The Prometheus Process is great] for a company looking to re-charge their strategic planning efforts to make break through gains and focus everybody on the few things which will completely move the system of your company forward. Through the use of the tools we have learned by using the Prometheus process for the last year, here at our company, The Bama Companies, we have a new grand strategic vision; we have teams of people working on the vital "top20" campaigns, which will take our company to the next level. By organizing to win in fast time, we will have moved our company from a fairly slow, non-rapid deployment company, to one where we move on a dime, and we are energized by change.

• We have had a 35% gain in our revenues,
• A 2X gain in our profits,
• And people are enjoying their work because they know the impact they are having on the future.
• Our customer relationship scores are higher than ever before and 80% of our "employee partners" are saying they will be with us 5 years from now!!!
• They see a very bright future.

I really believe in the Prometheus Process for "Winning in Fast TIME."
Paula Marshall-Chapman, CEO, The Bama Companies
