Thinking from Within

Johan Roos

Chapter 1 in Thinking from Within, 2006, pp 1-24 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the mid 1990s I worked as an action researcher with several companies to find out more about what leaders were thinking and doing when they practised strategy. After a few leadership meetings in one of these firms, a newspaper, it was obvious that there was no passion for strategic issues and the editor consistently arrived late. In a world of 24-hour cycles, the whole group was noticeably uninterested in the long-term and abstract tasks of strategy, the editor being the most detached and impatient. During these meetings the group exercised and discussed a range of analytical tools similar and sometimes identical to the ones used in the previous year.
