Rollins MBA Virtual Faculty Talk | Competition as a Design Challenge with Dr. Keenan Yoho
January 21 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Free
Markets are evolving faster than most company strategies can adapt. Technological acceleration, geopolitical instability, and shifting competitive dynamics are placing new demands on organizational leaders — not just to respond, but to design their organizations for resilience and advantage.
In this virtual session, Dr. Yoho explores competition as a design problem and introduces a practical framework leaders can use to better understand how organizational structure, information flows, innovation choices, and policy alignment shape competitive outcomes.
Join Dr. Keenan Yoho, Professor of Operations at the Crummer Graduate School of Business, for a virtual faculty talk on how leaders can approach competition as a design challenge and make better strategic decisions when the rules are changing. Dr. Yoho’s talk is designed for leaders who want clearer thinking, better alignment, and stronger strategic posture in uncertain environments.
In this session, you will explore how to:
→ Identify why misalignment, not uncertainty, is often the real risk
→ Spot structural weaknesses and hidden strengths within markets and within their organizations — before competitors do
→ Design organizations that adapt, align, and compete as conditions change
→ Turn complexity into coherence, and coherence into competitive advantage
Stay after the talk to connect with Crummer Admissions and learn how access to professors like Dr. Yoho can transform your career.
