A fantastic book about strategy! More, the nice thing about it is that the first part focuses on how to THINK strategically. Steps on how to assess your current situation, how to identify core challenges and how to reduce your uncertainty.
I liked a lot the chapter on Reducing Uncertainty (chapter 9), Why? Because it show that Lean Startup ideas about creating products and solutions using a scientific approach (based on assumptions, hypothesis and testing) is also entering the strategy and management thinking.
This book covers all of the bases. It is an enjoyable read that comprehensively walks you through what a strategy really is and how to develop and implement strategic thinking. As a small business owner, I have already been successfully applying some of what this book teaches, and my ability to develop innovative and creative ideas has greatly improved.
