All professionals talk about strategy, but few really understand what it means, or how to apply it correctly. How to Think Strategically challenges biased thinking and allows readers to enjoy the rewards of sound strategy and strategic thinking.
In the business world, 'strategy' must rank as one of the most bandied-about terms whenever there's a discussion on how to grow a company, win a new client or beat the competition.
Unfortunately, it is also one of the least understood — with many conflicting takes among professionals and scholars on what strategy actually means. The casualty of all this confusion is the quality of strategy that is actioned — and the results that follow.
Those who have mastered strategic thinking repeatedly see disproportionately good outcomes from the resources at their disposal; the rest leave themselves vulnerable to serious errors of judgement which can lead them to addressing the wrong problem, or doing things in such a way that the costs far outweigh the benefits.
How to Think Strategically: your roadmap to innovation and results — a new Financial Times series book released this month by Pearson, the world's leading educational publisher — promises to do away with this “boardroom babble” once and for all by equipping professionals with a clear framework of “the strategy roundabout”, methods such as “lean testing” and tools that will enable the reader to develop a strategic mind-set and devise a winning business strategy time and again.
The 280-page handbook tackles both theory and practical applications, providing an easy-to-follow roadmap that takes readers through the whole process of strategic thinking and provides a powerful framework of theories, tools and tips illustrated with a wealth of real-world case studies.
By the close of the book, professionals of all levels will be able to formulate a robust, compelling strategic plan capable of handling any situation or objective — efficiently AND effectively.
Co-authors Davide Sola and Jerome Couturier, professors of strategy and management at ESCP Europe Business School, have assisted businesses large and small in sharpening their strategies in their capacity as strategy consultants for McKinsey, A. T. Kearney and 3H Partners, a company that advises multinationals and governments about entrepreneurial solutions.
They say that although everyone has an innate ability to strategise, and do so quickly, most fail to take strategic thinking beyond intuition and vague notions of 'goals', 'situation analyses' or to-do lists. While helpful, none of these alone constitutes a strategy.
Professor Sola said: “Many people in business, even at management level, are very confused about what strategy really means. They do not have a clear theory to follow. This leads to hit-and-miss results with as many bad, and costly, business decisions as good ones. “Strategy embraces goals, objectives, planning, resources and more, but it cannot be reduced to any one of them.
“How to Think Strategically is a step-by-step practical guide to getting to grips with, and embracing, strategy as an invaluable tool to achieving individual or company business goals.”
The book is divided into two sections:
Part one explores what strategy is, highlights the factors that lead to success and explains how to turn strategic thinking into strategy
Part two focuses on putting strategic thinking into practice with a step-by-step walkthrough on devising and implementing a business strategy, and how to identify and deal with any challenges that arise.
To accompany the title, and help bridge the gap between theory and implementation, a handy Strategic Plan Generator App is also available which allows the user to apply their new-found skills by crafting a strategic plan.
How To Think Strategically is, in all senses of the word, the defining guidebook to strategy and strategic thinking, clearing away confusion and in its place instilling a mental blueprint for success.
How To Think Strategically – Your Roadmap To Innovation and Results, by Davide Sola & Jerome Couturier (Pearson) is out now, priced £14.99, from Amazon and all good book shops

Von einer Tankstelle in Lututow (Polen) bis zum Hotel Metropolis (Kaunas, Litauen)
Wie ich beim Durchsehen meiner Zettelchen und Belege feststellen musste, war die Tankstelle, die ich am 24. Juli 2019 am frühen Morgen anfuhr, mitnichten schon in Warschau, nahe meinem Frühstückshotel, sondern doch noch so einige Kilometer davor...

This roadmap by H. M. Gousha Company of Chicago was distributed free in 1951 by Chevron gasoline stations. It shows Arizona before the Interstate Highways and before Lake Havasu City was created. (There is a gutter line with staples, an artifact from the original Gousha booklet, visible across the top of the map.)

Following my roadmap to "full frame" I am currently selling my EF-S lenses. Wanna buy?
I was asked by some potential buyers to give them testshots of the 17-55 mm 2.8 out of cam in the critcial areas (f 2.8, 17 and 55 mm).
So we went on a walk and I just stared shooting. Fortunately I had set the cam to RAW + jpeg. So after I had loaded down the pictures for the potential buyers I found that there were actually some RAWs worth developing "for real". So here is my son with his current favorite hobby. His style is evolving fast and I know that I will miss my lens once it is gone...

Seit dem Ende der britischen Kolonialzeit befinden sich Indien und Pakistan in einem Konflikt miteinander, der bereits vier Kriege zur Folge hatte. Nur wenige regionale Konflikte waren von so langer Dauer wie der indisch-pakistanische Konflikt vor allem um das umstrittene Gebiet von Jammu und Kaschmir.
In Kooperation mit den Büros der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Delhi und Lahore kamen auf Initiative indischer und pakistanischer NGOs im Januar 2010 Vertreter der Zivilgesellschaften beider Länder zu einer Friedenskonferenz in Delhi zusammen, der Indo-Pakistan Peace Conference. Nach Abbruch der offiziellen Friedensverhandlungen zwischen Indien und Pakistan nach den Terroranschlägen von Mumbai im November 2008 saßen damit erstmals wieder Repräsentanten beider Seiten an einem Tisch. Sie fordern die Wiederaufnahme der Regierungsgespräche und einen Fahrplan zur bilateralen Versöhnung und regionalen Stabilität.
Die Konferenz wurde organisiert von ANHAD, Centre for Policy Analysis, COVA, Focus on the Global South India, Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, Hind-Pak Dosti Manch, Peace Mumbai, SAHR, SANGAT und SAPA.
Weitere Informationen zum Verlauf der Konferenz, sowie zur Medienresonanz in beiden Ländern finden Sie auf den Websites der Auslandbüros der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung in Lahore und Delhi.
