Workshop: How to avoid strategic mistakes at the early startup phase
Gemini Israel Funds (map)
" If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!" Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll.
As startups are established, the entrepreneurs run as fast as they can in order to achieve the desired success.
Consequentially, sometimes this rush in early stages, might lead to irreversible strategic mistakes.
Come join us on Sunday, August 1st 2010, 6:00pm for a Business Strategy Workshop where we will learn about the Business Strategy Principals
and how they were demonstrated by some of the most renown companies in the world.
We will then learn how these principals can be implemented in the early startup phase,
and what YOU, as company leader, should do in order to avoid strategic mistakes and seek for a winning strategy.
"There are infinitely many 'how to do' tools in management.
But the real problem is, "what to do".
Companies fail not because they do the right things the wrong way.
They fail because they do the wrong things the right way."
Peter Drucker, The Theory of Business (1994)
The workshop will be conducted by Mr. Yair Snir, a lecturer at the joint MBA program of the Wharton School of Business and the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), where he is guiding strategy and management consulting practice. His full bio is detailed below.
This is a unique opportunity to gain access to the business curriculum of one of the most distinguished MBA programs in the world.
Mr. Yair Snir is a corporate strategy professional currently working in ECI as a director of corporate strategy. Prior to that, he was a business strategy consultant most of the time with Rotem Strategy, a leading Israeli strategy consulting firm. Mr. Snir has extensive experience in strategy formulation and implementation for leading Israeli firms across a wide range of industries. Earlier in his career path, Mr. Snir had worked in the Bio-tech and Hi-tech industries, where he established and managed R&D groups, wrote patents and published scientific papers.

Coming to Yazamiyot events is always a pleasure; you can feel the buzz in the air.
While the subject of the lecture has been very appealing, the content was not related to the subject. No one could learn from the session ?How to avoid strategic mistakes at the early startup phase?. I would expect to hear about the insights of typical mistakes at startups and changes in the entrepreneurship market that drive the mistakes.Posted August 3, 2010 at 7:12 PM

Einat MetzerEvent HostOrganizerWas great hearing the different perspectives on startup strategy from those who lead it everyday. I want to thank Yair again for contributing his time and giving us the opportunity to share ideas with each other in this context.

Keren WolkomirIt was my first time at Yazamiot meetup. It was very inspiring seeing a group of strong and talented women. Although the discussion was very interesting, I would prefer the lecture be more practical. Thanks for a great evening.

Efrat BaritThe meetup was interesting, the presentation was very good. Though it was not about the subject it was supposed to. We haven’t talked about early stage start up strategies at all, which could be very beneficial for me.
-
Dorit NaparstekVery interesting presentation. However, one issue - the discussion focus was lost\changed several times during presentation (what cause time leakage)
-
stela diamantIt was great to meet this great group of women's. The group is diversified in experience and filed of work. It will be interesting to discuses in the next meetings the different fields (product maturity, market behavior etc.) and share our experience.

Penina FirstI thought it was a pitty that in a session which is focused on woman, a guy speaks.. If you want to let a guy speak, it should really have a good reason. I wouldn't mind if Shai Agasi, for example, speaks. I also didn't think he was very focused, and really had much of a point. I loved the peers, the feeling, and seeing other woman entrepeurners.

Jackont LinaIt was a good experience, although most of the participants were at a very early stage of the entrepreneurship. I would like to see women whose company is a bit more mature.

michal gevaNetworking was great, good to see the forum grow. The topic of the workshop was not really related to the content presented. I expected the focus to be on early startups and not strategy of mc donalds.... I thought that there were women in the audience that could have given such a presentation, based on their experience
