MentorSquare Breakfast Workshop on
Strategy – Myths and Misconceptions You Must Avoid

Date: on Friday, 28^th May, 2010, Time: 08:30am - 11.30am, Venue : Grand Magrath Hotel, Bangalore

Managers, and entrepreneurs, use the word strategy often and loosely. There is considerable confusion about what it means. Is strategy a plan, or work in progress? Is it a sequence of activities or a loose pattern of action? Is it the business plan? Cost reduction, quality improvement, or better customer service – are they strategy? Misconceived notions are not all, a number of myths crowd the managerial mind. First mover advantage, one stop shop, scale as strategy, are a few common fairy tales. They are so deeply rooted that we think nothing of staking all our resources in their pursuit. This is especially dangerous for start-ups and small companies. Their limited resources make them particularly vulnerable to missteps. Small entrepreneurs can lose everything to a misjudgement arising out of incorrect appreciation of strategy.

Mr. V.N. Bhattacharya, Business Strategy Consultant and Mentor on Mentor Square, will conduct a workshop titled Strategy – Myths and Misconceptions You Must Avoid

He advises and works with senior management teams to help make businesses competitive, grow rapidly and profitably in a sustained manner. He has over thirty-five years’ experience in diverse industries in India and abroad. He was the Chief Executive of BPL Telecom Ltd. – a telecom engineering manufacturing and networking company – before setting up his consulting practice.

He is a seasoned business leader with a rare breadth of perspective and world view. An alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur and Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta, he teaches Strategic Thinking in IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Bangalore.
