Why Good Strategy Arguments Make Better Strategy (MIT Sloan Management Review)
Strategy selection at top performing community banks is about making well-informed choices. These choices often result from honest discussions about unique capabilities and inherent risks between decision-makers and those responsible for executing the decisions.
Per Sorensen and Carroll’s article, arguing is the best way to do strategy, provided the arguments follow established rules and are rooted in principles of logic. Reasoned debate and strategy mapping helps stakeholders understand how others see the situation and arrive at a shared way of thinking. The result: superior strategic execution and learning.
