Master Enterprise Strategy Beyond Outdated Frameworks Monthly Enrollment | Four Mastery Levels | Industry Specialization
Program Vision:
A one-year strategic mastery program challenging outdated strategic concepts (like “culture eats strategy for breakfast”) and introducing a powerful, holistic understanding of enterprise strategy through the lens of the proven ICMG Anatomy Model.
One Enterprise, One Anatomy, Strategies across 15 Functions Integrated
Why this Matters Now:
Traditional strategic frameworks (from the past 100 years) are becoming obsolete—too linear, too slow, and fundamentally disconnected from enterprise realities. Ideas like “culture eats strategy” are outdated—culture, execution, process, system, and strategy must be integrated, not treated separately. The ICMG model breaks these outdated silos, turning fragmented ideas into an integrated enterprise anatomy.
Why Traditional Models Fail (Insight):
Traditional strategy models isolate functions, creating strategic fragmentation.
"Culture eats strategy" myths ignore functional interdependencies.
ICMG replaces this outdated thinking with an integrated, interconnected strategic anatomy.
Program Structure (One Year, Four Levels): Four Levels of Strategic Mastery
Level 1: Enterprise Strategy Reimagined
Understanding 100 years of outdated strategy frameworks and myths.
Introducing the ICMG Enterprise Anatomy Model—breaking down enterprise into six integrated perspectives (Strategy, Process, Systems, Components, Implementation, Operations) across 15 Functions.
Case studies debunking outdated strategic myths (e.g., culture-centric thinking) with anatomy-driven clarity.
Level 2: Mastering Problem Analysis (Stage 2-7 Framework)
Deep strategic diagnosis:
Stage 2: Strategy Analysis
Stage 3: Process Analysis
Stage 4: System Analysis
Stage 5: Component Analysis
Stage 6: Implementation Analysis
Stage 7: Operational Analysis
How to systematically uncover strategic misalignments and hidden inefficiencies that outdated approaches overlook.
Level 3: Strategy Execution Excellence (Steps 1-13 Model)
Precision strategy execution using the proven 13-step model.
Integrating strategy with processes, systems, components, implementation, and operations for seamless execution.
Real-world cases from multiple industries illustrating transformative results from the 13-Step Anatomy Model.
Level 4: Strategic Diagnosis with Enterprise X-Rays
Real-time, dynamic enterprise diagnostics using ICMG Enterprise X-Ray Models.
Instantly identifying critical issues, gaps, and misalignments at a strategic level—fast, precise, and accurate.
Mastering rapid strategic interventions that traditional models fail to achieve.
Industry Specialization (31 Industry Segments):
Each participant selects their industry specialization from one of 31 core industries (e.g.,
Media, Finance, Healthcare, Retail, Travel, Energy, Manufacturing, Telecom, etc.), gaining industry-specific strategic insights, models, case studies, and application guidance.
Strategic Mastery Across 15 Functions:
The CSO role demands clarity and mastery in:
Defining each of the 15 functional strategies clearly.
Creating precise strategic models aligned with enterprise anatomy.
Understanding and modeling Interdependencies among strategies across 15 Functions (Departments).
Executing each function’s strategy systematically via the ICMG Anatomy Model.
Structured Approach (Instant Strategic Clarity):
Each functional strategy will follow ICMG’s structured process:
Stage 2-7 Problem Analysis (Strategy to Operations) → Steps 1-13 Strategy Execution (Define, Create, Link, Execute) → Enterprise X-Ray Diagnostics (Continuous improvement).
Execution Model (ICMG 13-Step Execution):
Define clearly the strategy models for each function.
Create precise processes, systems, and component specifications.
Link strategically across all 15 functions, removing departmental silos.
Systematic Execution to achieve measurable enterprise outcomes.
How it Completely Debunks “Culture Eats Strategy” Myth:
The idea that "culture eats strategy for breakfast" misses the point—culture itself must emerge from strategy alignment, execution clarity, and operational consistency.
Enterprise Anatomy shows precisely why culture alone fails without deeply integrated, strategically aligned operations, processes, and execution logic.
Real-world examples from successful global enterprises prove integrated strategic anatomy beats isolated culture narratives.

Strategic Message:
"Your Enterprise Isn’t Losing Because of Competition—It’s Losing Because You’ve Never Understood Your Own Anatomy.
Stop guessing—start mastering enterprise anatomy.
Why You Need This Program Immediately:
Your Business Isn’t Failing Because of Competition—It’s Failing Because You’ve Never Seen Your Own Structure (Anatomy).
Your Strategy Isn’t Working Because It Was Never Designed with a Real Understanding of Enterprise Anatomy.
You Can’t Optimize What You Don’t Even Know Exists.
Critical Realizations:
Enterprises Don’t Understand Enterprise Anatomy.
Enterprises today are stuck in outdated, primitive views of enterprise structure—like medicine in the 1820s, which lacked knowledge of organ systems, cellular structures, and diagnostics.
Enterprises still operate based on fragmented, functionally siloed models, unaware that Enterprise Anatomy is key to seeing the full picture. They make strategic decisions like 1820s doctors relying on guesswork, rather than structured anatomy diagnostics.
Industries Are Lagging Because They Lack This Knowledge.
Even Fortune 500 enterprises today don’t possess a clear Anatomy Model for their own organizational structure. They churn through countless projects, departments, and fragmented strategies without understanding how these elements fit into an interconnected anatomy.
ICMG annually reviews and corrects these flaws in 200+ enterprises globally.
Universities Are Even Further Behind.
Universities are still teaching and certifying frameworks as outdated as 1820s medical theories. They produce certifications that are functionally useless because they lack the foundational understanding of Enterprise Anatomy. It will take at least a decade for universities to catch up to where ICMG stands today. By that time, ICMG will have advanced even further, widening this knowledge gap exponentially.
