MBE 537: Strategy and Organization

This intensive executive course addresses the "Strategic Paradox" faced by leaders in the transforming Saudi landscape: how to execute ambitious national mandates like Vision 2030 when traditional strategic tools are strained by rapid technological disruption and legacy inertia. Using a listed Saudi company as a living case study, the course moves beyond standard strategic planning to explore "Strategy as Practice." It challenges executives to "unlearn" obsolete strategic myths and adopt a dynamic, philosophical approach to strategizing and leading in a VUCA world. Participants will leverage advanced frameworks—including Jeroen Kraaijenbrink’s Strategy Sketch, Philosophical Strategy (Teleology, Epistemology, Ontology), and Innovation Dynamics—to diagnose complex challenges. The course culminates in a transformative focus on Agile Execution and Ethical Leadership, preparing executives to orchestrate digital ecosystems and drive sustainable value creation.
