Welcome to the Chief Strategy Officer - CSOsandbox
Corporate Strategy Master Class Program
The single most powerful tool available to the CEO, is a clear and well defined strategy: at a Corporate, Business Unit, Division level. To date, the person charged with the responsibility for the management and control of strategy, the Chief Strategy Officer, has had to carry out their duty with one hand tied behind their back.
Not any more.
The Strategic Management Institute (SMI) has developed this web based corporate strategy leadership tool that not only enables the CSO to manage their own roles, but to also empower others to engage in the strategic management program - on a day to day basis.
Role of the Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) and critical strategic thinking

There are four potential aspects of the role that can be seen in the video opposite, once you have subscribed to the CSOsandbox, which you can do, here.
The role of CSO is one of high pressure and high profile, the CSOsandbox eases the process.

Grow your corporation, enhance your career development
The CSOsandbox is a PC/laptop based web site designed to provide visibility to the structuring, management, and method of thinking when emerging and experienced strategy partitioners engage in activities related contributing to corporate strategy formulation and implementation. The construct though is not just about SWOT analysis. Rather, it is a comprehensive, fully integrated Strategic Management Framework that is grounded in an integration of empirical research, a depth of strategic thinking and extensive experiences possessed by its designers.
The CSOsandbox provides strategy practitioners with a platform to network and share experiences in the process of developing great content - using advanced strategy tools and preformatted templates.
