The Seven Deadly Sins of Strategy (Part II)
When organizations fail to develop and implement strategy that maximizes value, one often sees the same pattern of behavior — or “sins” — over and over. Delusion. Pride. Incognizance. Indolence. Groupthink. And more.
In the first part of this two-part webinar, our speakers introduced several “sins” and asked webinar participants to rank them. In this second part, speakers Carl Spetzler and Mazen Skaf — both partners at SDG and experts in decision-making under conditions of uncertainty and complexity — report back on the final seven and describe solutions and best practices to avoid them.
