Bridges’ Workshops

Transform, Enlighten, and Engage

Enhancing Strategy Implementation in a Digital World: Exclusive Workshops for Leaders.

At Bridges, we recognize the complexities leaders face in implementing strategies in today’s fast-evolving digital landscape. To address this, we offer a series of targeted, impactful, and practical workshops designed to equip leaders with the skills and insights needed for successful implementation.

Each workshop is a product of our extensive research and expertise in design, crafted to transform, enlighten, and engage. Our approach integrates a dynamic blend of methodologies and tools. We combine theoretical insights with practical application, interspersing lectures with experiential learning. The workshops also offer a balance of individual reflection and collaborative group discussions, enhanced by neuroscience-based puzzles and stimulating challenges. To further cement understanding, we incorporate business simulations, real-world use cases, and video case studies from prestigious sources like Harvard, as well as engaging examples from Hollywood.

In an era where strategy life cycles are significantly reducing the importance of implementation has never been greater. The digital realm, in particular, presents unique and intricate challenges, often making strategy implementation more demanding than before. Recent research by Bridges reveals a concerning trend: the failure rate in organizational implementation has escalated from 48% to 67% in recent years. Our workshops are meticulously tailored to navigate these challenges, offering bespoke solutions and specific actions to accelerate your implementation.

Our workshops cover a range of topics to help leaders surmount their implementation hurdles, including:

Strategy Implementation for Leaders
(One-day workshop)

Leaders have been taught how to plan but not how to implement, resulting in the strategy implementation skills gap that exists today.

This workshop focuses on closing that gap by providing leaders with the framework, techniques, and tools to successfully implement their organization’s strategy.

Singapore Digital Learning Week
(Five-day workshop)

One of the top three reasons why digital transformation fails is senior leaders’ mindset. This is based on Bridges’ research of 1,847 leaders in three continents.

Previously, technology was a bottleneck in making changes within the organization. This has been resolved by aligning the business and technologies with measures and goals.

Middle Managers’ Role in Strategy Implementation – The Lynchpin of Success
(One-day workshop)

This results-oriented workshop provides middle managers with the ability to drive the organization’s implementation while reporting to senior leaders and guiding front-line employees to take the right actions.

It highlights six tips and provides a framework to guide middle managers through the implementation journey and the Harvard-published DBS case study.

Strategic Thinking for Leaders
(Two-day workshop)

Leaders need to think strategically more than ever due to the rapidly changing strategic landscape, shifts in business operating models, and constant threat of new challenges and competitors.

This workshop provides micro and macro tactics for thinking strategically. It addresses how leaders can translate external forces into business successes and provides a framework to implement their strategy.

“Strategy is about making the right choices. Implementation is about taking the right actions.”

“Strategy can be defined as the thinking and implementation as the doing.”

“Leaders are guilty of repeating the same implementation mistakes they have previously made.”

“Knowing and taking the right actions move organizations from strategy creation to strategy implementation.”

“You can outsource the crafting of a strategy but not its implementation.”
