Last May, on the train back from Torino, I was writing my annual appraisal and I felt like I had a very clear idea of how my life would play out in the next 5-10 years. I had just participated in a high-level executive meetings along with one of the Partners at my former company,…
Strategy Consulting: Strategy 101
What is strategy? I was talking about this topic with a friend a few days ago and I noticed that most of the people have an understanding of what strategy is, but they don’t really know how to define it.
