Why this topic matters
Everyone gets told that they need to be doing more strategic work. But what does that actually mean? In this lightning lesson I work to bridge the gap between strategy frameworks and how this actually shows up in different roles. I worked for half a decade in management consulting firms where strategy was foundational. When I went in house I had to learn how to 'do' strategy from an IC role. This lightning lesson covers my key learnings.
