Listen "Does your strategy method build muscle or bend spoons?"
Episode Synopsis
It is always good to present your research findings to an experienced and
expert group, particularly if the material is set to challenge their
current thinking. Robust debate is an excellent method for material
development; but the dialectic dines best on meaty issues and in the
absence of frail personalities. I’d been asked by the CEO of a financial
services retail unit to critique the approach to strategy taken by his
strategy planning group. Such an assignment often takes on the air of a
“tell me which of my children is the ugliest?” inquisition. However you
address it, you know it will end in tears.
