Most strategy teams underdeliver. Top performers, however, stand out by sticking with a singular mandate and mastering collaboration.
At its heart, corporate strategy asks how a company’s total can be valued higher than the sum of its parts. This translates into three questions that should be on the agenda of every CEO. What is our company’s vision? What is our portfolio strategy? And, how must we adjust our corporate policies to achieve our goals? — Ulrich Pidun
