The unique business environment of today is generating new strategic challenges for business for which we lack a clear playbook. We teamed with a group of leading strategy academics (Michael Leiblein, Saikat Chaudhuri and Jeff Reuer) to convene a group of strategy practitioners and academics in New York to define and discuss the “untamed” issues of strategy. Our discussions were stimulated by an excellent fireside chat with Donald Allan Jr., CEO of Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., a summary of the latest academic research on untamed issues and observations from CSOs and other #strategy practitioners. We compiled a list of untamed challenges which require new research, experimentation and codification from researchers, practitioners and advisors alike which included topics like: - how #AI creates competitive #advantage - new models for the #globalbusiness which solves for new geopolitical tensions - how to reconcile the short term pull of interest rates with the need for long term thinking - how to codify and operationalize #resilience Thanks to all of the organizers and participants BCG Henderson Institute BCG Henderson Institute Strategic Management Review
