Insights
The Death of Strategy-as-Planning
Why Execution Starts at Assumption Design
Your strategy deck looks perfect. Your projections are bulletproof. So why does everything fall apart by the integrated reporting stage? The best leaders don’t plan—they hypothesize. They build strategies designed to break, learn, and evolve. Here’s how the winners do it.
Scenario Planning as a Leadership Muscle
From Predictive Models to Strategic Optionality
Every major decision is a bet on an uncertain future. The leaders who thrive aren’t the ones with crystal balls—they’re the ones who prepare for multiple realities. Learn how to build strategic muscle that bends without breaking.
Capital Allocation is a Strategic Choice
