Interesting week it was, I must say. We came back from a short four day break to begin the third semester and all my colleagues were looking forward to the course, Strategy Management. Some time ago, the facilitator of the course, Dr Tunji Adegbesan sent us a mail on how he was looking forward to meeting us and jokingly told us that the course was the life blood of the MBA program at LBS.
In trying to sum up the most important part of the 1st week of the semester, I would definitely say it is the three Strategy Management sessions we have had. I learnt that one has to be careful not to follow conventional logic and also that before you move all out to start creating a strategy for your business, make sure you are operationally effective in the first place. Being operationally effective might just give you an advantage over your competitors, especially in a terrain like Nigeria where people just want to get paid for delivering minimal value.
