  Ep 35 - Your Strategic Stagnation Isn't a Framework Problem—It's a Story Problem

  May 18, 20261h 4mS0

  <p>You’re in a strategy retreat. You see an opening to shift the conversation—a strategic insight you know could change the trajectory. You speak up with confidence. And then... blank looks. Awkward silence. The room moves on as if you hadn’t spoken.</p><p>It doesn’t matter if you’re the CEO, the board chair, or an ambitious director.

  Feb 10, 20263 minS0

  <p>Transcript</p><p>00:00:01</p><p>Stop me if you’ve been in Bob’s position. Every strategist learns the frameworks. Porto five forces, blue ocean strategy, and SWAT analysis. And we assume great strategy comes from great frameworks. So how Schultz of Starbucks fame, he knew all of the frameworks, but he didn’t transform Starbucks or any of them.

  Feb 5, 202649 minS0

  <p>Picture two teams in your company, six months apart.</p><p>The first team is drowning. They have 47 “strategic initiatives” on their list, no clear way to prioritize, and every meeting devolves into debates about resources.
