Strategy + tactics = success

I was getting ready to speak in front of a large group recently and was looking for something to illustrate the point about how having a good business strategy followed by a great execution capability is critical for any business to be successful.  I came across this quote from Sun Tzu, who is considered one of the best strategists that I liked so much that I wanted to share with you all.  Here it is:

 

“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory…

Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.”

 

Namaste!

My (limited) experience has thought me that ability is more important than tools or framework.

I recall Peter Drucker's works during my B-School days - "The past offers valuable guidance - but strategy derives far more benefit from full and proper understanding of the present ".
