Some say business strategy is 50 percent art and 50 percent science. The truth is probably closer to 65 percent art and 35 percent science, but the science of strategy remains critical. While art must be developed from within, science can be taught-and it forms the foundation of any business strategy. In The Strategy Mindset, strategy consultant, author, and internationally renowned speaker Dr. Chuck Bamford provides a simple yet practical guide to creating corporate strategy using well researched and battle-tested approaches. This is not a cumbersome textbook filled with academic language. Nor is it a reworking of popular strategy ideas that are uselss in practice.Instead, The Strategy Mindset provides actionable applications of strategic thinking tailored to the realities of business. Dr. Bamford has refined this approach to make it a practical and efficient model for the design and implementation of strategy. Although mastery of these approaches takes time, a motivated management team can effectively implement them and see a profound impact on their company. Practice the art of strategy...but master the science first.
The Tale of Edison Andrews - A SEER I am apparently a very slow learner or I was so as a child. My mother used to like to tell stories about how I would ask why the color of people’s eyes were changing so much. With much laughter, or fury, or exasperation, or downright anger depending upon her mood, my mother would say that I saw things that simply were not there. My mother was wrong on this one. I did see eyes change and knowing how that change worked gave me an advantage in my life. My ‘gift’ was turned against me and against those I loved when I was an adult, costing me everything that was dear to me. Revenge may be sweetest when cold, but I believe revenge must be exacted! Some things are never forgiven.
