From the excellent strategy & business publication (formerly booz) comes this short article about where the good stuff comes from.Β The paragraph below sums it up:
“…breakthrough strategies rarely come from the typical strategic planning effort. Nor do they typically result from the common practice of generating and evaluating strategic options. And they certainly arenβt inspired in a traditional board offsite, executive retreat, or brainstorming session. Instead, they start with individuals working on big, specific challenges who find novel ideas in unexpected places, creatively combine them into innovative strategies, and personally take those strategies to fruitionβagainst all odds.”
