Strategy Is A Pattern In A Stream

To 'turn Around' Is To End Up Facing The Same Way. Maybe That Is The Problem, All The Turning Organizations Around.

If You Ask Managers What They Do, They Will Most Likely Tell You That They Plan, Organise, Co-ordinate And Control. Then Watch What They Do. Don't Be Surprised If You Can't Relate What You See To Those Four Words.

Strategy-making Is An Immensely Complex Process Involving The Most Sophisticated, Subtle, And At Times Subconscious Of Human Cognitive And Social Processes.

Strategy Making Needs To Function Beyond The Boxes To Encourage The Informal Learning That Produces New Perspectives And New Combinations... Once Managers Understand This, They Can Avoid Other Costly Misadventures Caused By Applying Formal Techniques, Without Judgement And Intuition, To Problem Solving.

Never Set Out To Be The Best. It's Too Low A Standard. Set Out To Be Good. Do Your Best.
