All organizations are on a trajectory to a future: their default future. This is where they will end up if they take no action other than that currently planned. Leaders are accountable for confronting this default future and taking the actions needed to set a trajectory to an improved future. Sounds easy, but the challenge lies in understanding the forces both internal and external that determine the current trajectory. Only then can strategic opportunities be explored, a trajectory of strategic intent defined and the conditions for turning strategic intent into operational reality put in place. This book won t tell you what your strategy should be, nor does it present a multi-step approach to developing strategy. What it will do is help you understand why developing and executing strategy remains such a challenge. It will also help readers understand the role they need to play at a personal level if they are passionate about leading their organization beyond its default future.

Hardback. Condition: New. Have you ever wondered where your organisation is headed? Have you ever asked yourself: why is it that some organizations are more successful than others? Management fads can bring some benefit, but they rarely deliver the sustained success their advocates promised. Equally, while the calibre of an organization's leadership is important, along with the strategies they pursue, they in themselves are not the answer the question. This book argues there is something more fundamental at play; something that ultimately determines the destiny of an organization. All companies are on a trajectory - their "default future"; a place they will end up in if they take no action other than that currently planned. Identifying this default future, knowing whether this future is acceptable or not, and what actions to take for an improved future, is the ultimate key to sustaining future success for any business. This book, by two experienced strategy consultants, provides an important perspective on sustaining business success. Seller Inventory # LU-9781911498445
