A Common Failure Mode in How Consulting Firms Do Strategy by Tanzo medium.com/p/a-hidden-failur…

Great leaders never stop learning. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to participate in a strategy workshop with @RogerLMartin alongside members of our leadership team. It was a valuable reminder that innovation isn't just about technology. It's about how we approach problems, challenge assumptions, explore new possibilities, and make better decisions. Many of the same principles we discussed are the foundation of Design Thinking and the same ideas we recently shared during our Design Thinking Workshop at National Retail Federation PROTECT. It's a mindset we bring to helping retailers solve complex challenges every day. The more we learn, the better equipped we are to help our customers navigate change, think differently, and create meaningful outcomes. Thank you, Roger, for sharing your insights and challenging us to think differently.

5) Also complementing Playing to Win with Creating Great Choices and the result becomes even more interesting. This is what I've seen in the battlefield so far. All my observations have lead me to one conclusion:

@RogerLMartin @bovolox @greatcreator147 @jm_robles03 Hi friends, here's a very interesting post from @WillmottPaul about how AI-generated strategies look similar - One of our favourite topics - with mentions of reports I have not posted here yet. pwillmott.substack.com/p/is-…

@RogerLMartin, I've been thinking about this from a different angle and perhaps ou should build a "Strategy Maison" instead! A professional atelier, not a diploma mill. Like a strategy Hermès to MBB firms’ Halston at JCPenney! 😅 Full artifact on what that might look like: claude.ai/public/artifacts/3…

Hi @RogerLMartin If you were a company CEO and meet someone for the fist time and they ask you "so what's your company strategy?" How would you respond? Would you state the five components of the Strategy Choice Cascade? Or is it just the WTP/HTW? Thanks.

You will like the sentence where Crichton wrote they're no data for the future...

The full quote is "I want to pause here and talk about this notion of consensus, and the rise of what has been called consensus science. I regard consensus science as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks.

I have sometimes seen deep domain expertise present itself as 'domain dogma' - in the sense that people who've been operating in a domain for a long time tend to reinforce the implicit constraints of that domain, to the point they become self-fulfilling. To your point, good strategists are able to see through that.

If I remember correctly (I read the book when it was published so c. 20 years ago) he also challenged the notion of settled science because as you explained it's not how science works (I guess his research on chaos theory for Jurassic Park influenced his thinking).

Interesting! Though I had trouble reading the cover as anything other than "Stratigy a vliib" 😁

Hiya @Riggs_martin @bovolox @RogerLMartin New book. Not read it yet but I think it might be up your boulevard. emdub.co/book

🧵Democrats still cite Sweden as proof socialism works. They’re lying. The real Sweden survived by rejecting socialism — abolishing wealth taxes, protecting capital, expanding school choice, and becoming one of the world’s great startup nations. Here’s the story they hope you never hear. 🧵

@RogerLMartin @bovolox so now it seems some people try to think like LLMs 🤦‍♂️ arxiv.org/abs/2605.05419

> the single most reliable measure of intelligence is: the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time without leaking anxiety. Completely agree. Following @paulg's original disagreement hierarcy, there was a post on @lesswrong : lesswrong.com/posts/FhH8m5n8… > if you're interested in producing truth, you will fix your opponents' arguments for them As Charlie M said: "I never allow myself to have an opinion on anything that I don't know the other side's argument better than they do." @RogerLMartin said in his "Opposable Mind" book: > “The ability to face the tension of opposing ideas constructively and, instead of choosing one at the expense of the other, generate a creative resolution of the tension in the form of a new idea that contains elements of the opposing ideas but is superior to each.” Only the best in mind can do this.
