The Emergent Approach to Strategy

Compo has provided a path to move beyond the typical annual strategic plan that rarely gets adopted. With an approach that drives clarity in intent with adaptability to changing conditions and opportunities, Compo shows how to unlock the creativity and ability of the people who will turn your strategy into reality and results.–Michael Effron, Chairman, Oliver WightPeter Compo’s The Emergent Approach to Strategy is a wonderful rethinking of the language and logic of business strategy. Be prepared to learn how to identify ‘killer problems’ and critical ‘bottlenecks’ as well as how to see the ‘disqualifiers’ implicit in too many statements of strategy. This is a necessary addition to a strategist’s bookshelf.–Richard Rumelt, Author of Good Strategy/Bad Strategy and The Crux
