Why I Teach Strategy

I find strategy as a discipline of study and as an area of professional consulting and practice to be the most intellectually rewarding. It provides the best opportunities for a practitioner to sharpen their critical analytical skills as well as their capabilities for creative synthesis using a balance of conceptual and empirical frameworks. Nothing is more exhilarating for me than to see the aesthetics behind a well-constructed business strategy.
