Join us on for an innovative strategic problem-solving workshop titled The Art of the Advantage.

Based on a book and Harvard Business Review article authored by Kaihan Krippendorff (Wharton '94), the session offers participants a unique methodology to generate out-of-the-box competitive options. Since publishing his book a year ago, Kaihan has worked several companies - including Microsoft, Starbucks, and DHL to use his pattern-based methodology as part of their strategic development process.

The 90-minute seminar will be a simulated problem-solving session, during which participants will practice using a set of ancient Chinese phrases as patterns that reveal new, innovative strategies. The session has well received by other Wharton clubs (e.g., Southern California, Boston , Chicago, South Florida, Atlanta ) and has been conducted several times at Wharton as well.
