It will be different
It will be a surprise
Most companies do not have a clear strategy despite how unpredictable the future is. This leads to generic products, falling profits, diminished productivity, loss of customers and attrition of employees.
Entrepreneurs know they need a strategy, yet these mistaken notions stop them from having one:
Strategy is complex, it is too difficult for me.
Strategy takes too long to learn, I don’t have the time.
Strategy is expensive, it is only for large companies.
Some of them have successfully publicly list their business
Some of them have gone on to win the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Awards
Why attend this masterclass?
For the first time ever, Strategy has been distilled into just
10 simple questions for you to reflect. No jargons. No complex interpretation.
The 3-day masterclass uses interactive and immersive techniques along with proven strategic frameworks so that business strategy becomes fun, practical, and less technical.
You’ll learn from the success and failures of other companies through proprietary local & international case studies so you won’t have to repeat the same mistakes.
You’d be able to see things outside of your own perspective by closely networking and learning from 30 other CEOs & Entrepreneurs from different industries.
There will be a dedicated session for application where you’d be coached and given feedback on your business strategy.

We have run businesses for many years before. However, when it was time to start-up another one, StartupX provided me with an up-to-date battle plan that was concise, practical and insightful. Plus, Karthik has always been my trusted mentor in the business realm. Highly recommended!
