Overview
A powerful guide to becoming a strategic leader who makes insightful business decisions and manages risk in volatile and unpredictable environments
Written by a team of seasoned strategy consultants, Strategy and Change: Finding Opportunity in Disruption Through Insight, Choice, and Risk delivers an insightful playbook on recognizing relevant patterns, making consistently sound business decisions, and effectively managing risk in a world defined by disruption and volatility. This follow-up to the authors' first book, Leading with Strategic Thinking, covers major business developments and trends occurring since 2015. It explores disruption from technological advancements, like generative AI, as well as unforeseen crises, like the global COVID-19 pandemic.
In this book, readers will find invaluable insights into:
- The four ways to lead strategy in today's complex business environment: visionary leadership, directive leadership, incubating leadership, and collaborative leadership
- How to analyze problems and make decisions that achieve short- and long-term success
- New methods to evaluate hazards as both threats and opportunities in a marketplace that has become increasingly disruptive and unpredictable
Grounded in the latest research and real-world case studies, Strategy and Change earns a well-deserved spot on the bookshelves of all executives, consultants, and entrepreneurs seeking proven guidance to navigate the new world of business. It's also an invaluable resource for risk management professionals, academics, and early-career professionals involved in strategy and leadership.
