Business Strategy: Plan, Execute, Win!

Praise for BUSINESS STRATEGY: PLAN, EXECUTE, WIN!I wholeheartedly agree with Patrick Stroh: Good leaders understand strategy and good strategists need to be good leaders. Make this book a strategic tool for improving your business strategy. -- Harvey Mackay, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Swim with the Sharks without Being Eaten AliveOh no, yet another book on strategy, you say?! As a former CFO and now CEO of a multinational company, I can say this is a must read since we all agree that executing strategies is MUCH harder than developing strategies. What is different? Stroh has seen it all at many levels of the C-suite, and I strongly encourage aspiring C-suiters to carefully study his 10 universal truths of successful strategy execution that build on business, reality TV, Hollywood movies, and even agriculture analogies! -- Jeff Thomson, CMA, CAE, President and CEO, IMA (Institute of Management Accountants)Patrick was my chief strategy and innovation officer during a time of growth and change across healthcare. He is a very thoughtful and strategic leader with real-world insights. -- Jacqueline Kosecoff, PhD, Moriah Partners and former CEO of OptumRxFinally, strategy made real. Unlike academics who describe strategy in a way that will never work in real life, Patrick Stroh guides you through a concise, realistic path to strategic planning and execution. Only a true practitioner can produce a book about strategy that can be immediately applied to your business. Real strategy guidance for real businesses. -- Lior Arussy, President, Strativity Group; Author of five books, including Customer Experience StrategyPatrick has taken on the often complex topic of strategy and delivered a useful set of insights in a clear, easy to get your head around format and tone. His approach and style allows you to make quick and practical applications to real business needs and real business solutions. A great read! -- John Sweeney, Owner, Brave New Workshop Comedy Theatre; Author of Innovation at the Speed of LaughterDiscontinuities in a fastly emerging business ecosystem make this book an engaging and effective resource for strategic thinkers, leaders, and students, but a MUST read for those struggling to build a strategic paradigm for their team to align around and drive the future success of their firm with practical advice and useful tools. -- James Hansen, Chairman, JAMF Software; Adjunct Professor, University of St. Thomas
