Klappentext
This book challenges traditional views of strategy and operational execution—views that say strategy comes from a small group of select people or that an innovative strategy can only emerge from a distinct organizational spinoff. Aligning a complex organization around one strategy requires all members of a team to participate—learning, sharing, communicating, and contributing to the team's success. One Strategy provides a unique combination of real-world experience managing a large-scale organization with academic research in strategy and innovation to describe what it takes to align an organization around one strategy, manage its execution, and reach for "strategic integrity." One Strategy describes how to drive innovation by connecting the potential of strategic opportunities to the impact of operational execution.
Microsoft executive Steven Sinofsky joins his twenty years of management experience at Microsoft with Harvard Business School professor Marco Iansiti's twenty years of research on strategy and innovation to provide you a unique perspective on strategy development, alignment, and execution. Here, Sinofsky shares his experiences and point of view through an internal blog site that discusses some of the management processes put to work while developing Microsoft Windows 7. Through his own words, One Strategy focuses on the team's mission to develop and maintain a strategic vision through the 4,000 person, multi-year project. Marco Iansiti creates a framework that can be used by business leaders across industries and job functions, building on his original research in the development of innovative products.
