Phase-gate approach A final recommendationAfterwordIn dit eerste deel van The Strategy Handbook presenteert Jeroen Kraaijenbrink een verfrissende en praktische aanpak van strategieontwikkeling waarin creativiteit, interactie, en waardecreatie centraal staan. Gebaseerd op meer dan een eeuw aan inzichten uit de strategieliteratuur en op een leerproces met managers en ondernemers van meer dan 300 organisaties, is het doel van dit boek helder: het creëren van strategie die werkt.In een toegankelijke en nuchtere stijl leidt het boek de lezer in vijf stappen door het complete proces van strategieontwikkeling. Het boek bevat een rijke schat aan advies, tools, modellen en oefeningen die direct toegepast kunnen worden op de alledaagse praktijk van elke organisatie die haar strategie wil verbeteren. Het boek is eenvoudig te begrijpen en toe te passen. Door de wetenschappelijke basis gaat het echter ook voldoende diep in op de details van strategieontwikkeling. Door deze combinatie van eenvoud en diepgang is The Strategy Handbook een must-read voor zowel beginners als meer ervaren leiders, managers en ondernemers.
Recensies
If you query "business strategy" on any online bookseller, you will find more than 100,000 results. The fact is that strategy is both so important, and so misunderstood that many authors have worked to understand, present and explain it in their own way. Amidst such a range of work, it is easy to ask why we need another book on strategy. But when you see this book, you will understand precisely why we do need this work on strategy. The overall goals of The Strategy Handbook are clear. First to bring together much of the diverse and current thinking in contemporary management strategy. And second to make it applicable to the practical use of strategy in everyday organizations. The Strategy Handbook is effective at both, making it an essential for anyone active in the creation or implementation of strategy.
Stuart Read – Professor of Strategic Management, Willamette University — Stuart Read — 26 februari 2015
Dr Kraaijenbrink has given strategizing managers, strategy consultants, and even some academics, a really useful book. Some books pretend to supply a complete solution. This one is designed to help managers who know they must stay in charge and not expect others – consultants or academics – to do their strategizing for them. The guidance offered is down-to-earth, well presented, and tested in Dr . Kraaijenbrink’s considerable executive, consulting, and academic experience. It also leverages from the most recent business-relevant thinking in this area. Strongly recommended.
