I think my favourite part of this book is when it tells senior decision makers to make sure to balance all strategic initiatives in the organization so they're not over-investing in one area.

C'est le second de la série des HBR Guide To que je lis et je dois avouer que je suis agréablement surpris.
L'ancienne collection de livre de HBR, intitulée : "HBR's 10 Must Reads", réunissaient sous un même thème des articles précédemment publiés dans le magazine trimestriel HBR. Les articles de ce période s'adressent aux novices ou aux curieux, mais pas aux gestionnaires d'expérience ou aux consultants. Avec pour résultat que les articles contiennent une ou deux idées intéressantes mais se retrouvent noyées dans de l'information secondaire de faible intérêt. Et il faut beaucoup de courage pour les lire au complet.
Dans cette nouvelle série, les articles sont présentés sous forme de synthèse, allant droit au but, exposant les idées principales. Ça c'est intéressant. Idéale pour les gestionnaires ou consultants novices ou les intermédiaires (le consultant ou le gestionnaire possédant beaucoup d'expérience va rester un peu sur sa faim).

I’m not sure this was my favourite HBR read. I’m sure I still got something out of it but I don’t think it’s a book I’d go back to or think of when looking for resources on this topic.

It was fine. Some good ideas were presented dryly, but it's an academic book, so I didn't expect anything different.
