About Strategy Snapshot
Strategy is something a team practices, not a document it owns.
Most companies confuse the two. They produce a plan, distribute it, and go back to running the business on assumptions nobody has examined in a while. Then the market moves and the plan doesn’t.
Strategy Snapshot is a weekly piece for CEOs of mid-market companies who want the discipline, not the binder. Each issue covers one tool or idea you can use: naming the real problem, building genuine options, testing what has to be true, spotting drift before it costs you.
No frameworks for their own sake. One useful thing a week.
