Strategy was just added to your job. The team, the analysts and the consulting budget were not. The CEO stillexpects a strategy the company will follow, and a board that will approve it.

That is how most first Chief Strategy Officers start. Ask the CEO, the CFO and the sales lead where the moneycomes from, and you get three different answers. Ask four managers how many initiatives are running, and youget four different counts. A paid market report gives you a number you cannot defend in the room, a big deckgets nobody to decide, and every month the budget keeps funding last year’s projects.

After this course you run strategy as a working system, not as an annual document. You know where the profitis and how much of your growth was simply the market. You can size your market bottom-up and show thesource behind every number. Your strategy fits on one page and says what the company will not do. Everyrunning initiative has a score, a dollar cost and a date on which it either stops or gets more money. Goals havenamed owners, a quarterly review ends with decisions, and you walk into the board meeting with five slidesand answers to the hard questions.
