Strategic Learning de Willie Pietersen

Strategic Learning

Autor Willie Pietersen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mar 2010

Ceea ce diferențiază Strategic Learning de restul literaturii de specialitate este refuzul de a trata strategia ca pe un exercițiu teoretic anual, transformând-o într-un proces continuu de învățare adaptivă. Găsim în această carte o critică pertinentă a confuziei dintre planificare și strategie, autorul Willie Pietersen demonstrând că succesul nu vine din documente statice, ci dintr-un ciclu în patru pași care forțează organizația să genereze perspective superioare despre clienți și competitori. Dacă Strategic Management de Allen Amason v-a oferit cadrul teoretic al avantajului competitiv, această carte oferă instrumentele practice pentru a face strategia să „adere” la realitatea cotidiană a echipei. Reținem din structura cărții o progresie logică: prima parte demolează miturile despre execuție și definește „Winning Proposition”, în timp ce partea a doua aplică teoria selecției naturale și a complexității în management. Descoperim aici un ghid de implementare care nu se limitează la corporații, fiind aplicabil și în sectorul non-profit. Willie Pietersen folosește experiența sa de lider la vârful unor companii precum Tropicana pentru a explica cum se poate reduce decalajul dintre „a face” și „a excela”. Volumul, publicat de Wiley, este organizat astfel încât să ghideze cititorul prin „Momentul Adevărului” și să faciliteze luarea unor decizii mai inteligente într-un mediu de afaceri volatil. Abordarea este una directă, axată pe rezultate, unde cultura deschiderii și învățarea strategică devin singurele arme sustenabile împotriva concurenței.
