Demistifying Strategy – Clear, Succint, Actionable…Get to Work – Start Winning!

Winning should be at the heart of strategy. In our terms, a strategy is a coordinated and integrated set of five choices: a winning aspiration, where to play, how to win, core capabilities, and management systems.”

  1. Does this definition of strategy help demistify the concept? How?
  2. In the book, “Playing to Win,” the authors point out these choices need to be made at every level – company, department, team…even individual. How can you put these concepts to work where you are…today?
  3. Do you need to start from the beginning, or re-focus on a step in the process? Which one?

Be inspired, take action, help others by sharing…
