@RogerLMartin Excited to follow this! ❤️🙌

Welcome to Chapter One of the Playing to Win/Practitioner Insights (PTW/PI) book club. I am reprising the 37 pieces that were ranked highest by readers – and they make up one books-worth of content. The first is Michael Porter’s Three Great Strategy Contributions. He saved the strategy academy, he bolstered strategy over planning, and he provoked the conversion of strategy and marketing. I provide my commentary on the piece and then the link to it. I hope you enjoy it. open.substack.com/pub/rogerlmart…

If you want to be a successful entrepreneur: You have to literally learn to enjoy getting punched in the face. It’s not normal. It’s masochistic. But the journey will be too brutal if you don’t thrive off it.

I'm proud I was able to contribute a tiny bit to the Family Office Navigator by Peter Vogel of IMD - congrats on this piece of work! In particular, entrepreneurs with one or more exits under their belt should have a look (while you consider investing in @strategyzer ... psst... we're raising a small bridge round from entrepreneurs who had an exit or two ;-)

Vinod Khosla on why experts don't innovate.

The amount of public company CEOs who are unable to describe their company in a compelling way in 1 minute or less is truly shocking. Comms teams, this should be your #1 priority.

At most 15% of S&P 500 CEOs have a useful definition/understanding of strategy. So they are not capable of getting good strategy help - whether by hiring strategy staff or 'strategy consultants.'
