How is your vision these days? Ram Charan and Larry Bossidy, leading business experts find that few business leaders manage to perceive and comprehend the full business environment. As such, limited vision is a leading source of failure. This month, our discussion topic for the Strategic Management Practices Issues Group will focus on execution.
If you are familiar with the paradox of the chicken egg problem and wondering which comes first, then you'll appreciate this topic. Charan makes a compelling case and, with his partner Larry Bossidy, offers a series of examples demonstrating that strategy may come first, yet sometimes a competitive problem forces a new strategy. After revisiting Michael Porter's work on the Five forces, August's topic promises to keep you on your toes and challenge you to find and develop some alternative lines of sight.
