Thinking Strategically

So moments before I posted my last ..er.. post.. I had a thought.. it came to me.. (don't laugh) when I saw the series of pictures at the bottom of the page I hyperlinked to in my last post..




Moments before I sat down to the keyboard, I received my two books of the week fresh off the truck from Amazon.ca. One was appropriately entitled Thinking Strategically, and is filled with wonderful diagrams like the one below...




How many times have you seen a diagram like this one at your organization? How many of these do you have. Good Coaches have a playbook full of options, to match situations before the play clock winds down...

How would your company react if the market imposed a play clock on your decision making process..

Oh wait... they did. Get your play book out..
