Over the past decade, Dr Goodwin has been involved in the design and delivery of executive education programmes for a number of companies including Barclays Bank, ExxonMobil, Heidelberg, Hoechst, National Australia Bank, Nedbank, Nissan, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Shell, Standard Bank Group, Telstra and Texas Utilities.

And he’s also had hands on experience in the printing industry as part owner and a member of the Board of Choice Communications, Inc., a commercial printing company in Richmond, Virginia.

Samantha Crock, Education Manager GAMAA, said, “We are incredibly fortunate to have Dr Goodwin participate in this workshop programme. Dr Goodwin is recognised as one of the pre-eminent professors in operations management. Our workshop participants have a unique opportunity to learn from his experience and take away practical solutions that are relevant to their workplace.”

Dr Goodwin said participants will gain a range of tools that will enable them to link strategy and operations and implement change in the workplace.

“Most organisations have a significant disconnect between their high-level strategy and operations,” said Goodwin. “This results in their inability to execute strategy effectively. This problem is magnified when faced with rapid changes in our workplace and industry.

“In this workshop our initial goals will be to understand how to align both the strategy and operations and to create a framework that will move the business forward. To make strategy ‘work’ you have to create a mechanism that will drive the strategy on a short-term basis.”
