About the Book
This book is intended to help leaders navigate the differences, the polarities, and sometimes the contradictions between the theory of how things are done and the practicality of what must be done, the what and the how. Business leaders today are even more challenged in delivering profits and value as societal changes, new trends in globalization, impact investing, and shifting expectations from the role of Boards all contribute towards a turbulent environment in decision making. We develop a framework and a methodology within which leaders can think about changes in the business environment, opposing forces, and contradictions that weigh on their shoulders as they move forward.

We develop a unique methodology for decision making to create value based on five drivers: Strategy.
