Why most companies don’t actually have a strategy | Better Moments #2 | Roger Martin
Most companies can show you a plan. Far fewer can explain the choices underneath it.
About this episode.
Most companies can show you a plan. Far fewer can explain the choices underneath it.
In this Better Moment, Roger Martin strips strategy back to what it actually is: what you do, not what you say. He explains why a list of initiatives is not a strategy, how the question “What would have to be true?” can get a divided room moving, and why AI is much better at finding the average answer than a distinctive one.
Thirteen minutes on the choices that make a strategy real.
