Provides the strategy practitioner with a systematic and insight-driven approach to strategic thinking
Establishes and translates the relevance of strategy theory to its application in the practice field
Leads you through the strategic thinking process, beginning with the formulation of compelling and clearly articulated strategic questions that set the scene for practical issues
