How to Design Strategic Conversations That Accelerate Change
Simon & Schuster, 2014
Aperçu
Meetings or brainstorming sessions are the usual venues for planning strategy, but strategic conversations are far more effective.
Recommendation
Meetings and brainstorming sessions have long been the standard settings for planning and strategy. But meetings put people to sleep, and brainstorming simply doesn’t work. Strategic conversations – “interactive strategic problem-solving sessions” – are the perfect planning venues. During the past 15 years, authors Chris Ertel and Lisa Kay Solomon planned and implemented hundreds of strategic conversations for companies in more than 20 industries, and now they explain how these conversations work. getAbstract recommends their innovative method to leaders who must make difficult decisions, entrepreneurs who work with boards and investors, agents of social change, and business-school faculty and students.
