Our work with Leadership Teams, Boards and Strategy teams over the last four years has shown us that the ‘old’ way of thinking about strategy simply no longer holds. By that, we mean looking backwards at past trends, making firm bets, planning them to death, and executing in a linear way. Top skills including analysis, conviction and career experience.

Strategy development today requires a very different approach to handle the unprecedented level of uncertainty and breakneck pace of change in the world – not to mention some major long-term forces starting to come to a head in a career-defining fashion.

We’re in the process of developing a set of insights and tests to help strategic leaders and their teams benchmark their natural approach against the skills we think most important for strategists today. We’re also developing workshops and tools to help exercise and improve these new strategy muscles.
