Accelerated Strategy Program
for senior executives
In this program, a small group of senior executives spend one to three hours periodically (biweekly, for example) receives a very short summary of a Prometheus Concept followed by proposing content for that section. Venturist strategy experts then combine the ideas into a finished product for the relevant section and circulated the draft electronically for comments which are incorporate before the next session which begins with a short review of the draft followed by introduction of the next Prometheus step. An organization can prepare a functional strategy using this approach in 6 to 8 weeks. Senior executives can expect to spend an average of 3-4 hours a week in some combination of attending development meetings and reviewing circulated drafts.
