Personal Details

Bio

Former CFO and international MBA strategy lecturer, Stephen wrote Strategies of the Serengeti to demonstrate that the real experts in organisational strategy are not the business schools, the gurus or even the authors - but the animals of the famous East African plain. Some use niche market techniques, others mass market; some are stealth and ambush predators, others are co-ordinated hunters; but each has something to teach our businesses. Stephen has spoken in 30 countries on 4 continents - inspiring, interesting and practical.

Strategies of the Serengeti

Strategies of the Serengeti demonstrates how we can increase the effectiveness of our organisational strategies by learning from the experts - the giraffe, hyena, zebra, cheetah and 8 others. Each has their specific strategies, but the advantage our businesses have is that we can move between them - sometimes it may be wise to learn from the warthog and implement his strategies, but other times, the same company may need to learn from the ostrich.

Stephen shows us how to learn from these masters. For us - if we get our strategy wrong we can start again ... for them - if they get their strategy wrong, they are someone else's lunch.

With a careful mix of humour, learning, application and challenge, Stephen's Strategies of the Serengeti speeches have entertained and challenged business audiences in Europe, N. America, Asia and Africa.
