Strategic Power: The Impact of Mind, Risk and Deep Games

Most books on strategy are long, bland, impersonal and impractical. This punchy text blends research, hard-won experience and humor to offer a novel view of strategy-in-the-wild. It creates ways to increase your and your organization's "strategic intelligence". We learn why practicing strategists use barely a single model from the formal study of strategic management. And, why the financial sector, home to some of the most highly-paid risk managers and strategists in history, pursued business strategies that brought them and the western economy to its knees. In fewer than two hundred pages, Matthew Checkley offers a thought-provoking guide to the workings – and the potential - of the mind of the strategist.
