“[A] substantive and eloquent book...Open strategy is more
than a set of tactics or tweaks to an existing strategy. The
authors set out the approach with such granularity and clarity that
it is immediately actionable.”
—Strategy + Business
"A useful blueprint."
—Financial Times
"Strategy is usually a closed, top-down affair, as a small group
defines a new approach and, too often, it flops. The four
professors share a different approach, opening key aspects of
strategy-making up to front-line workers, others in the ranks, and
even outsiders, tapping into differing perspectives and building
enthusiasm for implementation."
—The Globe & Mail
