Strategy is about imagination, choices and capabilities - interview with Roger Martin

How well do you make choices? It could be about your career, the focus of your job, your life more broadly. Or it could be about the focus and direction of the organisation Too often we avoid making real choices, continuing with what we have because it feels safe, and comfortable to do so. Or we make a choice without considering all of the options? Choices are at the heart of strategy. Choices about where to play, how to win, and how to build the capabilities and resources required to get you there. Imagination plays an important role - you have to ask what do you want to become before figuring out what you need to believe, and do, to get there. Strategy is separate from a plan. And it doesn't require heavy analysis or long powerpoint decks. My guest in this conversation, Roger Martin, is one of the world's leading strategy thinkers and adviser to CEOs, talks eloquently about how to do strategy effectively, and counters many of the popular myths. A wonderful discussion, I hope you agree. Here's what we covered: 0:00 START 1:38 One area of strategy that needs changing: over emphasis on analysis. 3:11 The second area: strategy as a plan.
