Practical Strategist: Questions Count More Than Answers

Abstract

Somewhere along the way, the words “strategy” and “forecast” got confused. At its roots, strategy development is about good conversation—and, unless you're returning a call from the state lottery commission, good conversation is almost never about numbers. If there is any correlation between creating good strategies and a development process focused on financial projections, I'm sure it's a negative one.
