Why Strategic Thinking?
In
the new era of rapid change and unparalleled opportunity, the profitable
and
sustainable growth will go to
the companies whose leaders can see possibilities beyond their traditional
served markets.
Today,
innovative business leaders and most strategy experts
do not regard strategy as planning but rather as thinking. "In a world in
which unexpected change is a rule, you cannot foresee the future in any
meaningful way of make plans for the realization of a detailed long term
strategy:."1
Jokes:
"The Strategic Game"
A businessman was talking
with his barber, when they both noticed a goofy-looking fellow bouncing down the
sidewalk. The barber whispered, "That's Tommy, one of the stupidest kids you'll
ever meet. Here, I'll show you."
"Hey Tommy! Come here!"
yelled the barber. Tommy came bouncing over "Hi Mr. Williams!" The barber pulled
out a rusty dime and a shiny quarter and told Tommy he could keep the one of his
choice. Tommy looked long and hard at the dime and quarter and then quickly
snapped the dime from the barber's hand. The barber looked at the businessman
and said, "See, I told you."
After his haircut, the
businessman caught up with Tommy and asked him why he chose the dime.
Tommy looked at him in
the eye and said, "If I take the quarter, the game is over."
