This was a very basic decision-making and planning book. If you’ve seen other decision-making books, or taken strategic thinking classes in college, this will look very familiar. In many of these types of books, there is some verbiage or some steps that make it somewhat unique. This was very vanilla. For example, the most unique step in this planning process was to do a SWOT analysis. Very vanilla. There was also a lot of discussion of holding big meetings to set strategies. This felt dated. You could almost smell the cigar smoke given the descriptions of those meetings. The best part of the book wasn’t the process description but the many examples. The examples weren’t all deep, but were varied enough to provide some interesting discussion. I think this book is best for those who haven’t had business or engineering classes involving decision making, but who are responsible for setting strategies and operating to those strategies. I don’t see this as a primary source for those creating a new strategy process, but I could see it used to add color to your existing strategic processes.
