DESCRIPTION
This presentation traces the evolution of Strategic Thinking since the dawn of Strategy, marked by Sun Tzu's Art of War. It outlines 4 chronological eras of Strategy:
1. Exclusivity and Monopolies
2. Scientific Management
3. Competitive Thinking
4. Strategic Proliferation
We are in the period of Strategic Proliferation, which is marked by an increasing number of strategic disruptions, each giving rise to its own set of Strategic Thinking philosophies and frameworks. Over time, business environments and strategies have become increasingly complex—there is no longer a holistic, overarching strategy framework that can be leveraged.
In this period, the strategic span of control has become difficult to manage, which results in a gradual loss of the internal strategic sense of purpose. To combat that, there are 4 "backbone strategies" that organizations can pursue.
1. Authentic Leadership and Corporate Values
2. No-regret Strategic Initiatives
3. Strategic Scope Reduction
4. Agility, Flexibility, and Resilience
Lastly, this presentation discusses the 3 elements to properly think about Strategy in the era of Strategic Proliferation.
This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This PPT provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of strategic thinking, from the era of exclusivity and monopolies to the current phase of strategic proliferation. It delves into the key characteristics and thought leaders of each era, offering valuable insights into how strategic frameworks have adapted over time. The presentation is structured to guide executives through the complexities of modern strategic management, emphasizing the importance of agility, flexibility, and resilience in today's rapidly changing business environment.
The deck also includes practical slide templates to facilitate the application of these concepts in your own strategic planning sessions. Whether you are looking to understand historical strategic paradigms or seeking actionable strategies to navigate the current landscape, this document serves as a critical resource. It is designed to equip senior leaders with the knowledge and tools needed to drive organizational success in an era marked by constant disruption and innovation.
