Attendees will explore how to implement innovative tactics to achieve meaningful, measurable results for their organizations.
The course is constructed to analyze varying approaches to critical topics, design clear outcomes, appraise better results, develop ground-breaking strategic visionary skills, create dynamic organization cultures, measure the adverse impacts of organizational isolation, diagram state-of-the-art cyber-security stratagems, compare best practices in supply chain management, express knowledge in mergers and acquisitions, evaluate their corporate strategy, and differentiate their competitive advantage from their competition.
“This course helps fulfill our mission to advance the automotive aftermarket by equipping aftermarket executives with the strategy tools they need to grow and succeed,” stated James O’Dell, assistant director of aftermarket education at Northwood University.
The five-day global session, which will be held June 8–12, 2025, in South Korea, is being hosted by CTR Global.
“We are grateful to CTR Global, who will be allowing us to use their facilities, in addition to presenting some content and showing us must-see aftermarket facilities in South Korea,” Litzinger stated.
