Is Success Without Strategy Possible? No.

Having a strategy, a real, honest-to-goodness plan of action, is your competitive advantage, writes Samantha Graveney in Success Doesn’t Just Happen. It’s Planned For.

But it isn’t easy:

“Developing a coherent, informed, consensual and realistic plan is hard work; putting and keeping it in action is even harder. There are many opportunities for it to come off the rails or fall by the wayside.”
