Practical Strategist: History Lessons

Abstract

Strategy is focused on the future, but most good strategies are well grounded in the lessons of history as well. Before you dive into developing strategies for the future, take a little time to learn from the past. Those lessons are contained in the histories of your company and industry, as well as in the personal histories of your company's leaders.
